The exposure compensation amount displayed in the viewfinder goes up

to only ±2 stops. If the exposure compensation amount exceeds ±2

stops, the end of the exposure level indicator will display <

I> or <J>.

If you want to set exposure compensation exceeding ±2 stops, setting it

with [z2: Expo.comp./AEB] (p.119) or with the Quick Control screen

(p.44) is recommended.
