(underexposure)
and +5 EV (overexposure) in increments of
1

negative values to make it darker.
At values other than ±0.0, the 0 at the center
of the exposure indicators will flash and a E
icon will be displayed in the control panel
and viewfinder after you release the E
button.
The current value for exposure
compensation can be confirmed in the
exposure indicator by pressing the E
button.
Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure
compensation to ±0.0.
Exposure compensation is not reset when
the camera is turned off.
