E button. The current

value for exposure compensation can be confirmed in the

Exposure Mode h

In exposure mode h, exposure compensation affects only the exposure
indicator; shutter speed and aperture do not change.

Using a Flash

When a flash is used, exposure compensation affects both flash level
and exposure, altering the brightness of both the main subject and the
background. Custom Setting e4 (Exposure comp. for flash,

0 333) can

be used to restrict the effects of exposure compensation to the
background only.
