Can you explain the EV setting on Fuji Finepix A2 While browsing the settings on my Fuji Finepix A201, I found the Ev setting with some decimal number settings? Can you explain how these work? All my camera book said was they were exposure settings. As you can see, I am a novice at using other than the auto setting.

If you are talking about Exposure Compensation (Manual mode only), it adjusts the overall exposure from -2.1 to +1.5 exposure equivalents (EV) in one-third-step increments. This would be to adjust + or - to the settings that you have your camera set to now. If you were are 1/60th sec F8, a -1 would bring it to 1/60th F11. It would give you less one stop of exposure value (EV). You would use this for example if you had a shot to make of someone that is backlit, you might take the cameras recommended exposure setting and then give a +1.5 exposure compensation to account for the extra light that the meter is seeing so the person will come out properly exposed instead of dark.
