Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation can brighten (increase exposure) or darken (decrease exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera.

Exposure compensation is available in P, Tv, Av, and M modes. For details on exposure compensation when M mode and ISO Auto are both set, see M: Manual Exposure Shooting.

  1. Press the Exposure compensation button.

  2. Set with the keys.

    • You can also set exposure compensation on the [Shooting: Exposure comp.] or [Shooting: Expo.comp./AEB] screens in the menu.

Caution

  • If [Shooting: Auto Lighting Optimizer] () is set to any setting other than [Disable], the image may still look bright even if decreased exposure compensation is set to darken images.

Note

  • The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you turn off the camera.
