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 (0 79).
Choose from values between
–5 EV (underexposure) and +5 EV (overexposure) in increments of
1
/3 EV. In general,
positive values make the subject brighter while negative values make it darker.
