O Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation can increase (brighter) or decrease (darker)
the standard exposure set by the camera.
You can set the exposure compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop
increments.
Exposure compensation can be set in the <d/s/f> shooting modes.

If [8C.Fn II -4: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.81) is set to a setting other
than [3: Disable], the image may still look bright even if the exposure
compensation is decreased.
The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you
set the power switch to <2>.
Be careful not to turn the <5> dial and change the exposure compensation
inadvertently. To prevent this, set the power switch to <1>.
You can also set it by pressing the <O> button and turning the <6/5> dial.
