Exposure Compensation Select Exposure comp. from the Quick settings display to adjust the setting (A 48). Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making photographs brighter or darker. It is available in a, b, and c modes and is most effective when used with q (center-weighted) or r (spot) metering (A 62). Exposure compensation can be set to values between -5 to +5 in increments of 1/3 EV. As a rule of thumb, positive compensation may be needed when the main subject is darker than the background, negative values when the main subject is brighter than the background. Exposure compensation is shown in the Shooting information display. Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure compensation to 0.0. Exposure compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off.
