Exposure compensation can brighten (increased exposure) or darken
(decreased exposure) the standard exposure set by the camera.
Although you can set the exposure compensation up to ±5 stops in 1/3-
stop increments, the exposure compensation indicator on the LCD
panel and in the viewfinder can only display the setting up to ±3 stops. If
you want to set the exposure compensation setting beyond ±3 stops,
you should use the Quick Control screen (p.44) or follow the
instructions for [2 Exp. comp./AEB] on the next page.
