Exposure compensation
Dial or buttons on a camera that allow the user to override the automatic exposure mode. Most cameras have +/-2 stops control that is enough to compensate in situations where the camera's system would normally be fooled.

Exposure Compensation
Most of the time the camera's meter does a good job of determining the correct exposure. Basically though, it can easily be fooled by subjects and backgrounds that are either too light or too dark.
When is exposure compensation useful?
If at first, you take an image and it looks to be too dark or too light when viewing it in your LCD screen.
random()*10000000000000000; and the resulting image appears underexposed (e.g. by looking at the histogram), applying a +1.0 EV exposure compensation will cause the camera to use a shutterspeed of 1/60s or an aperture of f/5.
Exposure Compensation
+/- 2 EV in 1/3 EV steps
This means that you can adjust the exposure measured by the light meter by telling the camera to allow more light in (positive exposure compensation) or to allow less light in (negative exposure ...

Techniques Glossary Exposure compensation
Dial or buttons on a camera that allow the user to override the automatic exposure mode.
Exposure Compensation works quite well as long as the meter is coupled to the resulting exposure the camera uses, but in Manual exposure, you are in charge, not the camera.
Exposure Compensation
The perfect exposure retains details in both the highlights and shadows. For the autoexposure system, this is as difficult as your parking a very large car in a very small garage.
The exposure compensation setting allows you to acquire better exposures in tricky lighting situations. Backlighting is the most common culprit that fools a meter into thinking there’s too much light resulting in an image that’s too dark.
Exposure compensation
As we have already seen, light meters cannot see color. They render every scene as 18% middle gray and adapt the exposure accordingly.
Exposure Compensation
An Exposure Compensation is a way for you, or for the camera, to compensate for the lack or abundance of light.
Exposure compensation :
Exposure compensation for available light is activated by changing the shutter speed and/or lens aperture.
Exposure Compensation
Exposure Compensation is the ability to automatically adjust the calculated exposure, as indicated by a metering reading, when it might yield a less-than-optimal result and to compensate for the adverse elements.
exposure compensation
A camera's auto functioning will set lighting for a shot based on an average reading. If the target subject is much lighter or darker, it may come out under- or over-exposed.
Exposure compensation dial (*):
This feature allows you to override cameras setting by 1/3, 1/2, or full stops. You can use this option to vary the amount of exposure to lighten or darken your subject (Bracketing) in any auto exposure mode.
Exposure compensation
Allows users to intentionally under- or over-expose a shot to achieve a particular effect.
Exposure Compensation - A tool found on many cameras today which enables the user to set exposure of the camera independently of any other exposure parameter.
Exposure compensation - deliberately changing the exposure settings recommended by the camera in order to obtain proper exposure. This is usually done in steps of 1/3 to 1/2 of an f stop.
Exposure Compensation Settings used to modify the shutter speed and/or lens aperture recommended by the camera's light meter. Often used to produce special creative effects or to meet the scene requirements.
Exposure Compensation: Changing the exposure set by the camera by increasing or decreasing it. Usually set as + or - EV [exposure value].
File: A single document stored in memory or on disk or hard drive.
Exposure compensation. The ability to adjust exposure by one or two stops to lighten or darken the image.
Exposure Compensation: A feature on most digicams that allows manual override of the camera's light meter to achieve better exposure under difficult lighting conditions.
Exposure compensation
To obtain the best results with certain subjects it may be necessary to alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera. An exposure compensation button [+/-] is now found on most modern auto cameras.
Exposure Compensation
Increase or decrease the exposure an image from the exposure automatically selected by a camera metering system (see bracketing).
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION- Many cameras have the ability to force the camera to overexpose or underexpose an image during capture. This can be done for effect or to compensate for some particular lighting situation.
Exposure compensation
You can exert control over the image while still shooting on automatic. Your camera, unless it is extremely basic, offers exposure compensation.
Exposure Compensation - Lighten or darken the image by overriding the exposure system. Also known as EV Compensation.
Exposure Compensation. You can lighten or darken the image by under or over exposing the image. (EV compensation).

Exposure Compensation
Adding to or subtracting from the 'correct' exposure time indicated by the camera's meter, which results in a final exposure that is either lighter or darker than the recommended exposure time.
Use exposure compensation, all the time. On digital cameras this is one of the most important adjustments. Look on your LCD screen and watch for terminal underexposure or highlights blown out to pure white (or close to it).
19. Exposure Compensation
More advanced cameras may have a function which allows fine-tuning the overall exposure. This may be found on a menu or by using a dedicated button like the one above.
Flash exposure compensation controls on body

Exposure Compensation for Bellows Extension As discussed in chapter 4, an exposure calculated with an exposure meter is precise only for a lens set at a distance equal to one focal length When the distance between the optical center of the lens and ...
Exposure Compensation
A system which allows "dialing-in" or adding or subtracting evalution values (EV) for a given image. Compensating involves deciding whether or not the meter reading is under or over exposing and correcting the error.
Exposure Compensation method:
If your camera does not have Shutter Priority Mode, you can use the exposure compensation feature if you have it. Normally identified by a plus/minus symbol, this feature allows you to "nudge" the camera's exposure meter.
Exposure compensation Manual correction (+2.0 to -2.0 EV 1/3 EV steps) Auto bracket feature (-0.5 EV; ±0; +0.5 EV)

Exposure compensation dial. Allows you to over ride automatic exposure settings. Probably easier and quicker to switch to manual if you can.
Mirror lock up. You would be so lucky ! ...
Exposure compensation is the practice of allowing more or less light into the camera than its light meter suggests is appropriate.
Exposure Compensation
The ability to override the camera's meter system by a set amount. Can be very useful in difficult lighting conditions which may "trick" the meter.
File Format ...
Use Exposure Compensation to create artistic effects. Here the shot of the pier was made darker to ensure that the final shot had a deep-toned moody sky. Silhouettes often benefi t from some negative Exposure Compensation.
Set a +1 exposure compensation level. Take the same photos again. The new images will be brighter, hopefully close to perfect. That makes sense because the + exposure compensation level causes the camera to make a photo with more exposure.
If there were exposure problems, the instant preview available with digital would allow you to make exposure compensation or corrections in real time. Also TTL spot metering mode with this lens may cause inaccurate exposure.
Purpose: To practice exposure compensation
Technique: A world of life exists in the sand plateau, if you slow down and look.
This format is helpful in that you can adjust the exposure compensation later if it is a bit "off." If you don't have this option, you might try bracketing a few shots to see which combination of shutter speed and ISO creates the look you want.
7 exposure compensation. I set the shutter speed at 1/250th and enable the auto-iso function. Shoot at the highest resolution, spot meter off the face or jersey, and adjust and crop in Photoshop. I shoot in bursts of 3.
Aperture priority mode, F7, exposure compensation at -1 or -1 ½. This is helpful if your background lighting is constantly changing (e.g. trying to shoot fish that may be above or below you).
I take multiples of the same shot and slightly change the exposure compensation on each one, so I’ll typically have a highlight, an under and a correctly exposed one.
In Lightroom, two stops over the base exposure blew out the highlights, and no amount of exposure compensation could rectify this. The sensor was pushed to full saturation, a situation that should be avoided.
The exposure compensation necessary when focusing on close subjects, which becomes necessary when the subject is closer than ten times the focal length of the lens.
Put a lens on your camera, set focus to infinity, set exposure compensation to +1, set the aperture to its smallest value (largest number), at least f22, f32 if you have it. Now hold the camera in front a uniformly illuminated target and take a shot.
Only in severely backlit situations did I resort to exposure compensation and/or manual metering, using the left-and right-pointing LED arrows and a central red “correct exposure' circle.
In other words all the shooting parameters that the camera auto selected or you dialed in including: white balance settings, sharpness, noise reduction, tone curves, exposure compensation, etc.
The viewfinder displays extensive information on the camera's operation, including AF points, a focus confirmation light, Shutter speed, Aperture, ISO speed, AE lock, Exposure compensation, Spot metering circle, Exposure warning, AEB, Flash ready, ...
Enter these numbers into the Exposure compensation box and convert one image for each (5 images in the first example). I usually save them as TIF files so I don't lose information to compression (until the very end when I save everything as JPG).
Capture dark, dismal rainy days by dialing down exposure compensation by a half or even a full stop. Make the most of the dark. Go in close.
If your camera has an exposure compensation dial, use it to add an extra stop (+1).
Using these techniques might mean you need to play with exposure compensation (you'll probably want to increase exposure by a stop or two) as your camera won't be aware that you're taking some of the power out of it's light.

This is something the camera meter cannot do and the technique largely avoids undue tonal/brightness influences (which might make you use exposure compensation to get a good reading) and the influence of reflections.
That's why we call it Exposure Control, or Exposure Compensation. For example, next time you go to photograph a predominantly white scene, such as a ski field, you'll think to yourself...
