Exposure compensation is used
when the camera’s exposure meter
is deceived by high-key or low-key
scenes. In the example, the dark
water caused the camera to overex-
pose the image making it too bright
and washed-out. By compensating
the exposure, detail is brought out in
the leaves, and the stones and water
appear richer.

Exposure compensation
When adjusting the exposure, the amount of compensation is shown in EV (p. 53). After the setting
is made, the shutter-speed and aperture displays indicate the actual exposure. Because the expo-
sure can be adjusted in fine steps, the shutter speed or aperture value displayed may not change.
When set to any value other than zero, the exposure-compensation indicator remains on the moni-
tor as a warning.
