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
M(Center-weighted metering) or N (Spot metering) (060).
Choose from values
between –5EV (underexposure) and +5 EV (overexposure) in increments of 1/3EV.
In
general, positive values make the subject brighter while negative values make it
darker.
