Using exposure compensation to adjust brightness

  • Press to access the exposure compensation setting.

  • Press to decrease or to increase exposure compensation.

An exposure compensation level is shown on the LCD and the image gets darker or lighter.

Take the picture when you are satisfied with the exposure compensation level.
