The compensation value is applied, even without
pressing the k button.

the glamour retouch screen is displayed instead of
the exposure compensation screen (A40).
When the shooting mode is A (auto) mode, the
creative slider is displayed instead of the exposure compensation screen (A28).
C
Exposure Compensation Value
The setting may not be available with some shooting modes (A57).
If the setting is applied in A (auto) mode, it will remain saved in the camera's memory
even after the camera is turned off.
C
Using the Histogram
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Use as a guide when
using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.
The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright
tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.
Increasing the exposure compensation value shifts tone distribution to the right, and
decreasing it shifts tone distribution to the left.
