What is "exposure compensation"?
Exposure compensation is a camera feature that allows the photographer to adjust the brightness of an image beyond the automatic settings provided by the camera. By increasing or decreasing the exposure compensation, the photographer can make the image brighter or darker to achieve the desired look. This is useful in situations where the camera's automatic exposure may not accurately capture the scene, such as in high-contrast lighting conditions.
