Choose whether the E button is needed for exposure compensation.

  • On (auto reset): In modes P, S, and A, exposure compensation can be set by rotating the command dial not currently used for shutter speed or aperture (easy exposure compensation is not available in mode M). The setting selected using the command dial is reset when the camera turns off or the standby timer expires (exposure compensation settings selected using the E button are not reset).
  • On: As above, except that the exposure compensation value selected using the command dial is not reset when the camera turns off or the standby timer expires.
  • Off: Exposure compensation is set by pressing the E button and rotating the main command dial.
