Exposure Simulation

With exposure simulation, image brightness more closely matches the actual brightness (exposure) of your shots.

  1. Select [Shooting: Expo. simulation].

  2. Set an option.

  • Enable (Exposure simulation (enable))

    The displayed image brightness will be close to the actual brightness (exposure) of the resulting image. If you set exposure compensation, the image brightness will change accordingly.

  • During Exposure simulation (during)

    Normally, Live View images are displayed at standard brightness, so they are easy to see (Exposure simulation (disable)). Only when you hold down the depth-of-field preview button will image brightness resemble actual brightness (exposure) of the resulting image (Exposure simulation (enable)).

  • Disable (Exposure simulation (disable))

    Live View images are displayed at standard brightness, so they are easy to see. Even if you set exposure compensation, the image is displayed at the standard brightness.
