I've never used it and I've never come across any tutorials where I was instructed too.

I most definitely agree that if exposure compensation is working for you than you most definitely should use it...I found that after learning manual mode and learning to spot meter I found that to be a better method for me to meter instead of the exposure compensation button. My hope was simply to give a bit of beginner background for troubleshooting photos when they 'go bad' and I've found that a lot of beginning momtographers have changed this setting either without realizing it or have forgotten that they changed it the last time they went out to shoot. I absolutely loved reading all the posts and articles you sent me. Thank you!

I would argue for spot metering and for it to be set to the level that is appropriate for the skin color (+1 for white, etc).Actuary Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03771931973962944137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-77995205521946319142013-02-28T07:12:57.638-06:002013-02-28T07:12:57.638-06:00Exposure compensation can actually be very useful....Exposure compensation can actually be very useful. When taking photos of something that has a lot of dark - say a person in a black shirt or suit, your camera's sensor is designed to view that as being overly dark and the camera will pick the exposure to be too bright and often over-expose the subject's face. Knowing this, you can quickly use the exposure compensation button to move the exposure to -0.5 or -1 to make up for that. The same is true of a subject dressed all in white. The camera sensor wants to darken the exposure, so you can correct that by using the exposure compensation button.Katherynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09367239881380222520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-79753756555527484182013-02-28T06:41:37.945-06:002013-02-28T06:41:37.945-06:00I learned about exposure compensation on Pinterest...I learned about exposure compensation on Pinterest and since then have been using it quite often to lighten up my pictures without needing to turn on my nasty flash.<br />I do agree that you should keep track of what it's set to, but I wouldn't say it should always be at zero.<br />Here is the article where I learned about it on Pinterest:<br />http://www.tech4mommies.com/2012/01/photography-101-exposure-compensation/<br />Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492049018366684184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-88435118135668504142013-02-28T06:21:32.092-06:002013-02-28T06:21:32.092-06:00Hi,

I usually bump my exp. comp. UP a half stop so it will slightly over expose my snowy scenes. Another example is when I am trying to produce silhouettes and shooting into the sun, I will often bump it DOWN At least a half stop if not more to underexpose and get those dark, rich sunset colors and make the silhouette nice and dark. This of course is all if I am shooting in av or tv mode. <br />:) CarynCaryn Proutyhttp://carynproutyphotography.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204235978624182047.post-2769597906398055442013-02-27T22:01:34.642-06:002013-02-27T22:01:34.642-06:00Phew!
