The EV setting in menu isn&#039;t accessible, but I felt it still measures light intensity at different focal points and pull the level of exposure of entire picture together. </p><p><br /></p><p>Did you tone the black background in photoshop? or were you able to shoot pitch black like that straight out of camera?
