ing Shooting Settings

Select Exposure comp. from the Quick settings display to adjust the setting (A 48).
Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the 
camera, making photographs brighter or darker. It is available in a, b, and c modes and 
is most effective when used with q (center-weighted) or r (spot) metering (A 62). 
Exposure compensation can be set to values between –5 to +5 in increments of 1/3 EV. As 
a rule of thumb, positive compensation may be needed when the main subject is darker 
than the background, negative values when the main subject is brighter than the 
background.
Exposure compensation is shown in the Shooting information 
display. Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure 
compensation to 0.0. Exposure compensation is not reset when the 
camera is turned off.

except when exposure compensation value is set to 0.0.

Exposure compensation can also be adjusted by rotating the 
command dial while pressing A only in a, b, and c modes. Check
