Also commonly described as 'EV compensation' this is a feature available on the majority of cameras that enables you to manually override the automatic exposure to deliver an increase or decrease of light hitting the sensor. Exposure compensation is measured upwards or downwards according to an EV (Exposure Value) scale.
