Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker (0 367). In general, positive values make the subject brighter while negative values make it darker. It is most effective when used with M(Center-weighted metering) or N(Spot metering) (0 125).
