Effective Subjects and Set Values
● Positive (+) Compensation
• Copying of printed text (black characters on white paper) (+1.5)
• Backlit portraits (+0.6 to +1.5)
• Very bright scenes (such as snowfields) and highly reflective subjects (+0.9)
• Shots made up predominantly of sky (+0.9)
● Negative (–) Compensation
• Spotlit subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds (–0.6)
• Copying of printed text (white characters on black paper) (–0.6)
• Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of green or dark foliage (–0.6)
FLASH (Flash intensity)
Use this setting to achieve the optimum image brightness (exposure) when the subject is very small
in the picture or when the subject is much brighter or darker than the background, for example,
flowers or business cards.
Flash can be set in four stages.
[0 (default) /–0.3/–0.6/–0.9]
The optimum brightness sometimes cannot be obtained if the photographic conditions are too dark
or the subject is too far away.
Also, the brightness of moving images that are displayed on the LCD monitor before they are
photographed does not change. In this case, press the shutter button, and check the brightness in
the preview screen (photographed still image).
