What is Exposure Compensation?

Send us Fan Mail

Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 29 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m Rick McEvoy and I explain one photographic thing per episode in plain English in less that 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. I have well over 30 years of experience in photography so I do know what I am talking about!

In this episode

Exposure compensation is a feature in cameras allowing you to quickly adjust the suggested camera settings to get a better exposure than would be achieved with the suggested camera settings. On a Canon DSLR this is done simply by rotating the quick control wheel on the back of the camera.
