Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value
suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. It
is most effective when used with center-weighted or spot
metering (0 139). Choose from values between –5 EV
(underexposure) and +5 EV (overexposure) in increments of
EV. In general, positive values make the subject brighter while
