Camera exposure
Exposure compensation is used when the camera’s
exposure meter is deceived by high-key or low-key subjects.
In the example below, the dark water caused the camera to
overexpose the image making it bright and washed-out. By
compensating the exposure, detail is brought out in the
leaves, and the stones and water appear richer.
In the manual recording mode, exposure compensation can be set with the
controller.
Press the up key of the controller; the exposure compensation display appears.
Use the left/right controller keys to adjust the degree of exposure
compensation. To set other functions with the controller, press the up key
again; the exposure compensation display turns gray.
