D Mode M
In mode M, exposure compensation affects only the exposure
indicator; shutter speed and aperture do not change (ISO sensitivity
will, however, automatically be adjusted according to the exposure
compensation value selected when auto ISO sensitivity control is
enabled; 0 84). The exposure indicator and the current value for
exposure compensation can be displayed by pressing the E button.
D Flash Photography
When an optional flash unit is used, exposure compensation affects
both flash level and exposure, altering the brightness of both the main
subject and the background. Custom Setting e3 (Exposure comp. for
flash) can be used to restrict the effects of exposure compensation to
the background only.
