How Do I Use Exposure Compensation in Manual Mode
In mode M, exposure compensation is available when [AUTO] is selected for the ISO. Because exposure compensation is performed by adjusting ISO sensitivity, aperture, and shutter speed are not affected by changing ISO sensitivity. Exposure compensation can be adjusted using the +/- button. Hold the +/- button and rotate the front or rear dial. • Exposure compensation is added to the exposure difference shown in the display.
