EXPOSURE AND FLASH COMPENSATION
The ambient light and flash exposure can be adjusted before the image is captured to
make the final picture lighter or darker. Exposure can be adjusted by as much as ±2Ev
in 1/3 increments (p. 111). The exposure and flash compensation will remain in effect until
it has been reset. For more on exposure and flash compensation, see page 110.
Adjustments to exposure must be set before the image is captured. When setting
exposure or flash compensation, the change in Ev is shown on the data-panel aperture
display and on the monitors. After the setting is made, the shutter-speed and aperture
displays will indicate the actual exposure.
