Last week I published a video breaking down one of the most misunderstood camera features: exposure compensation.
Most photographers know the exposure triangle — aperture, shutter speed, ISO —
but that little + / – button still feels fuzzy.
Here’s the simple reframe:
Exposure compensation isn’t a setting.
It’s a bias.
It’s how you tell the camera which direction you want its exposure math to lean — and it only works in certain modes.
In the video, I walk through:
what exposure compensation actually does
when it works
when it doesn’t
and how experienced photographers use it in real-world situations
