Konica Minolta DYNAX40M Instruction Manual page 43

Exposure compensation is used when the camera's exposure
meter is deceived by high-key or low-key subjects. For example, a
very bright scene, such as a snowy landscape or a white sandy
beach, can appear too dark in the final image. Before taking the
picture, adjusting the exposure by +1 or +2 EV will result in an
image with normal tonal values.
Metered exposure
In the example above, the dark water caused the camera to
overexpose the image making it bright and washed-out. By
compensating the exposure, detail is brought out in the leaves, and
the stones and water appear richer.
