Exposure Compensation Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. It is most effective when used with center-weighted or spot metering (pg. 87). Exposure compensation is available in modes P, S, and A (in mode M, only the exposure information shown in the electronic analog exposure display is affected; shutter speed and aperture do not change). Press the E button and rotate the main command dial until the desired value is displayed in the control panel. Exposure t compensation can be set to values between -5 EV (underexposure) and +5 EV (overexposure) in increments of 1/3 EV. In general, choose positive values to make the subject brighter, negative values to make it darker. E button Main command dial ±0 EV (E button pressed) -0.3 EV +2 EV At values other than ±0, a E icon will be displayed in the control panel and viewfinder after you release the E button. The current value for exposure compensation will be displayed when the E button is pressed. -1 EV No exposure compensation +1 EV Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure compensation to ±0. Exposure compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off.
