Exposure Compensation
In P, S, A, h, and % modes, exposure compensation is used to
alter exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making
pictures brighter or darker (
0 116). In general, positive values
make the subject brighter while negative values make it darker.
To choose a value for exposure compensation, keep the E (N)
button pressed and rotate the command dial until the desired
value is selected in the viewfinder or information display.
