EV Compensation
The

menu allows you to adjust
the exposure or amount of light that enters the
lens while capturing photos or videos. Use this
feature to lighten or darken the image when the
brightness between the subject and background is
not balanced or when the subject occupies only a
small part of the photograph. Use a positive (+) EV
compensation for spotlit subjects, especially
against dark backgrounds or scenes with low
reflectivity, such as green or dark foliage.
Use the
Up/Down
navigation buttons to modify the value. This setting can be
modified from -2.0 to +2.0 in a 0.3 increment/decrement.
