The current
value for exposure compensation can be confirmed in the
exposure indicator by pressing the E button.
Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure
compensation to ±0.0.

A Exposure Mode h
In exposure mode h, exposure compensation affects only the exposure
indicator; shutter speed and aperture do not change.
A Using a Flash
When a flash is used, exposure compensation affects both flash level
and exposure, altering the brightness of both the main subject and the
background.
Custom Setting e4 (Exposure comp. for flash, 0 325) can
be used to restrict the effects of exposure compensation to the
background only.
