Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 57

EV Compensation

In difficult lighting conditions, you can use EV (Exposure

Value) Compensation to override the automatic exposure

setting that the camera makes.

EV Compensation is useful in scenes that contain many light

objects (like a white house in the snow) or many dark objects

(like a black cat on a dark background). Scenes containing

many light objects or many dark objects could turn out gray

without the use of EV Compensation. For a scene with many

light objects, increase the EV Compensation to a positive

number to produce a brighter result. For a scene with many

dark objects, decrease the EV Compensation to darken the

scene to be closer to black.

1 In the Capture Menu (page 55), select EV Compensation.

2 In the EV Compensation sub-

menu, use the buttons to

change the EV setting in 0.33

steps from -3.0 to +3.0. The new

setting is applied to the Live View

screen behind the menu, so you

can see the effect each setting will

have on the picture.

3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the

Capture Menu.

If the setting is anything other than the default setting of 0

(zero), the number value will appear in the Live View screen

next to the

icon.

Except in My Mode (page 52), the new setting remains in

effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off.
