Setting Exposure Compensation - Canon EOS 70D Instruction Manual

Setting Exposure CompensationN
Exposure compensation can brighten (increased exposure) or darken
(decreased exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera.
Exposure compensation can be set in the d/s/f shooting modes.
Although you can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-
stop increments, the exposure compensation indicator in the viewfinder
and on the LCD panel can only display the setting up to ±3 stops. If you
want to set the exposure compensation setting beyond ±3 stops, use the
Quick Control (p.46) or follow the instructions for [z3: Expo.comp./
AEB] on the next page.
