[QUOTE="Mfrankfort, post: 138727, member: 12881"] If your in A mode, and set it to say 5.6, the camera will select the shutter speed. If it thinks say 1/400 is correct, and you use exposure compensation to get something overexposed, the camera will slow the shutter speed down to say 1/200 to let in more light (over exposing). Same things true with S mode. If you say you want 1/400 and when you press the shutter half way, it thinks 5.6 is the correct aperture for a proper exposure, but you want it underexposed, it will move it up to say 6.0 to let in less light, underexposing it. In M mode, you are the exposure compensation. You can look in the viewfinder, and line up the exposure dial. +-------0------- - to 0, then adjust either the aperture or shutter speed to say +------0---*-- - to make it underexposed. Just change whichever one is less important to you. If you really want an aperture setting, slide the shutterspeed to over/under expose. If you need a certain shutter speed, then adjust the aperture to over/under expose. YOU are the exposure compensation in manual. :-) [/QUOTE]
