For example, if you are in the Aperture Priority AE mode and set Exposure
Compensation to +1.0, the shutter speed changes to one stop slower. In
Shutter Speed Priority AE mode, the aperture will be one stop larger
(smaller f-number). In Program AE mode, both the shutter speed and
aperture value changes add up to a +1.0 stop.
