Well I know this camera has EV compensation +/- in 1/3 stop increments, but since I never use the camera in auto mode, I've never bothered with this function. The LCD screen can be a real beyotch to deal with on many cameras and your idea is a interesting one.... I've discovered with lots of use that for this particular camera, I usually need to shoot 1/3 to 1/2 stops more to get it right. If it looks ok...I've usually lost detail in the shadows, so I just bracket. Over-exposure is easy to see, but the shadows are tough.....

I am, therefore I create.......
