Exposure Compensation is a camera setting that allows photographers to adjust the brightness of their images. It helps correct exposure when the camera's automatic settings do not produce the desired result. By increasing or decreasing the exposure value, photographers can make their photos lighter or darker. This feature is particularly useful in challenging lighting conditions, such as when shooting against a bright background or in low light. Exposure Compensation is typically measured in stops, with positive values making the image brighter and negative values making it darker. It gives photographers more creative control over their images.
