Solution
Set exposure compensation if the exposure (without flash) does not come out as desired. This feature can be used in Creative Zone modes (except [M]). You can set the exposure compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments. You can set exposure compensation on the Live View screen or INFO. Quick Control screen. On the Live View screen, you can adjust the exposure compensation while checking the effect on the screen.
NOTE
The range of exposure compensation
- The compensable range is within ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
- If you compensate for ±1 stop, the amount of light doubles or halves. For example, if the shutter speed is 1/250 sec., the camera uses the same amount of light for the following values for shooting.
At +1 stop, the shutter speed is 1/125 sec.
At -1 stop, the shutter speed is 1/500 sec.
- One stop is divided into three, which means 1/3 stop
REFERENCE
- If you combine it with AEB, you can set it beyond ±3 stops. For further information, please refer to Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) (EOS M)
