What it does is, to change the bias of your meter. So if your digital meter shows 0 (middle) and you dial in a EV of +1.0, you will see the meter now showing -1.0. So if you are basing all of your decisions based on the meter scale in the camera, change in Exposure compensation will affect your exposure. However, if you are using Sunny 16, or your own lightmeter (be it an electronic one or the one between your ears), exposure compensation will not affect you.And if you turn auto ISO on, Exposure compensation will definitely affect your exposure.</blockquote>
