Exposure compensation can increase (brighter) or decrease (darker)
the standard exposure set by the camera.
Although you can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-
stop increments, the exposure compensation indicator on the LCD
panel and in the viewfinder can only display the setting up to ±3 stops. If
you want to set the exposure compensation setting beyond ±3 stops,
you should follow the instructions for [2 Exp. comp./AEB] on the next
page.

Set the Mode Dial to <d>, <s>,
or <f>.

After pressing the shutter button
halfway (0), turn the <5> dial.

If the [

The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you
set the power switch to <2>.
Be careful not to turn the <

inadvertently. To prevent this, set the Quick Control Dial switch to <

If the amount set exceeds ±3 stops, the end of the exposure level
indicator will display <I> or <J>.
