Exposure Compensation

Adjust exposure.

Hold the d button and rotate the rear command dial until the desired value is displayed in the viewfinder or LCD monitor.

The command dial used in this role can be chosen using DBUTTON/DIAL SETTING > COMMAND DIAL SETTING.

The amount of compensation available varies with the shooting mode.

Exposure compensation can be previewed in the shooting display, although the display may not accurately reflect its effects if:

  • the exposure compensation amount exceeds ±3 EV,
  • W200% or X400% is selected for DYNAMIC RANGE, or
  • STRONG or WEAK is selected for D RANGE PRIORITY.

Exposure compensation can still be previewed in the viewfinder or LCD monitor by pressing the shutter button halfway. In movie mode, the display may not accurately reflect the effects of exposure compensation during F-log recording or when W200% or X400% is selected for FDYNAMIC RANGE. An accurate preview can be obtained by selecting mode M and adjusting exposure directly.

The d Button

If ON/OFF SWITCH is selected for DBUTTON/DIAL SETTING > EXPO. COMP. BUTTON SETTING, exposure compensation can be set by pressing the d button once, rotating the rear command dial, and then pressing the d button again. Exposure compensation can be assigned to other controls using DBUTTON/DIAL SETTING > FUNCTION (Fn) SETTING.
