Setting Exposure Compensation (Exposure Comp.) - Canon EOS 760DW Instruction Manual

Setting Exposure CompensationK
Set exposure compensation if the exposure (without flash) does not
come out as desired. This feature can be used in Creative Zone modes
(except <a>). You can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops
in 1/3-stop increments.
Increased exposure
for a brighter image
Decreased exposure
for a darker image
If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.146) is set to any setting other than
[Disable], the image may still look bright even if a decreased exposure
compensation for a darker image is set.
The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you
set the power switch to <2>.
After setting the exposure compensation amount, you can prevent the
exposure compensation amount from changing accidentally by setting
the <R> switch to the right.
The exposure compensation amount displayed in the viewfinder and on
the LCD panel goes up to only ±2 stops. If the exposure compensation
amount exceeds ±2 stops, the end of the exposure level indicator will
display <I> or <J>.
If you want to set exposure compensation exceeding ±2 stops, setting it
with [z2: Expo.comp./AEB] (p.170) or with the Quick Control screen
(p.57) is recommended.
Check the exposure level indicator.
