Exposure Comp. (still image/movie)

still image, movie

Normally, exposure is set automatically (auto exposure). Based on the exposure value set by auto exposure, you can make the entire image brighter or darker if you adjust [Exposure Comp.] to the plus side or minus side, respectively (exposure compensation).

  1. MENU → (Exposure/Color) → [Exposure Comp.] → [Exposure Comp.] → desired setting.

    + (over) side:
    Images become brighter.

    - (under) side:
    Images become darker.

    • You can adjust the exposure compensation value within the range of -5.0 EV to +5.0 EV.
    • You can confirm the exposure compensation value that you set on the shooting screen.

Hint

  • You can adjust the exposure compensation value within the range of -2.0 EV to +2.0 EV for movies.

Note

  • You cannot perform the exposure compensation in the following shooting modes:
    • [Intelligent Auto]
  • When using [Manual Exposure], you can perform the exposure compensation only when [ISO] is set to [ISO AUTO].
  • If you shoot a subject in extremely bright or dark conditions, or when you use the flash, you may not be able to get a satisfactory effect.
