Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is how the camera adjust the exposure picked by the camera into a certain exposure. It’s a quick way to lighten or darken the image.

In Fuji cameras, we can set and lock the exposure compensation. In Program (P) mode, when we lock the camera into a certain exposure, the aperture (F) and shutter speed (SS) will adjust itself to get the desired result according to the ISO you set. The previewed result reflects the actual result.

In manual mode, the EV indicator becomes a meter readout reporting where your manual settings land.

But when we set it to Aperture Priority (A) and Shutter Priority (S) the preview does not reflect the result. We have to adjust it ourself. Take a shot, check result, adjust, take a shot, check result, adjust, repeats until it reach your desired result.
