Exposure compensation
Some subjects consist predominantly of areas of above or below
average brightness, for example areas of snow or full-format dark
subject elements. Using the exposure modes
P, S and A, it may be
more convenient to set an appropriate exposure compensation
instead of using the metering memory lock function for each pic-
ture. The same applies if you want to ensure an identical exposure
for multiple pictures. Values of +3 to -3 EV are available in
1
⁄3EV
increments.
▸ Select
Exposure Compensation in the Main Menu (1st screen page)
▸ Select the desired compensation value
In modes
P, S and A, a compensation value can also be directly
entered via one of the setting wheels.
Once a compensation value is set, it is displayed on screen, e.g. as
EV+3. While setting the value, you can see the effect on the screen
image, which becomes darker or lighter.
Notes
• When setting the exposure manually, exposure compensation
can only be done via menu control, or if the function for direct
access was selected (see p. 23).
• A set exposure compensation remains active after any number
of pictures and even after the camera was switched off, until it is
reset to ± 0 (= center of scale).
Automatic bracketing
High contrast subjects that have very bright and very dark areas
can have very different picture effects depending on exposure.
The automatic bracketing function allows you to take a series of
three pictures with stepped exposure. You can then select the best
picture for further use.
Selecting a menu item
▸ Select
Drive Mode in the Main Menu (1st screen page)
▸ Select
Exposure Bracketing in the submenu
Active bracketing is indicated by
on screen. You can watch the
effect of the function on screen while the pictures are taken
(brighter or darker).
At least two parameters must be set for a bracketing series:
– Number of pictures
– Exposure gradation (in full EV increments = Exposure value
steps)
Selecting the number of pictures
▸ Select
Frames in the Exposure Bracketing submenu
▸ Select
3 or 5
Setting the exposure gradation
▸ Select
Aperture/ EV Steps in the Exposure Bracketing submenu
▸ Select the desired setting
