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 75). Choose from values between –3 EV (underexposure) and
+3 EV (overexposure) in increments of

values make the subject brighter while negative values make it
darker.

Exposure compensation is adjusted using the exposure

desired setting.
