Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the
camera, making pictures brighter or darker.

M (Center-weighted metering) or N (Spot metering) (0 62).
Choose from values
between –5 EV (underexposure) and +5 EV (overexposure) in increments of

In
general, positive values make the subject brighter while negative values make it
darker.
