Exposure
Your camera adjusts the exposure of each scene automatically. However, if the subject is very dark, or very bright, you may
override the camera's automatic exposure determination to make the subject brighter or darker. This is called EV compensation.
The EV compensation can be adjusted from -1.8EV to +1.8EV. To select the EV compensation you wish, press the button.
Then, use the / buttons to select the EV compensation you desire, and press the button.
Examples of Exposure Compensation -
Positive (+) Compensation
Imaging printed text (black characters on white paper)
Portraiture with back lighting
Very bright scenes (such as snow) and highly reflective subjects
Shots made up predominantly of sky
Negative (-) Compensation
Spot lighted subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds
Imaging of printed text (white characters on black paper)
Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of green or dark foliage
White Balance
Your camera adjusts the white balance of each scene automatically. However, the images that your camera captures will appear
different under different lighting conditions (sun, shade, fluorescent, tungsten lights). Unlike your eyes, which can easily adjust to
different lighting conditions (lighting temperatures), a digital camera cannot always differentiate between lighting types. Under
some lighting conditions the image may appear in strange shades. If that occurs, you may change the white balance setting by
specifying a lighting condition (temperature) most appropriate for your scene. To set the white balance, press the button. Then
