In some situations, you may get better results if you manually compensate (adjust) the
exposure value set automatically by the camera. In many cases, bright subjects (such as snow)
will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects closer to
their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when shooting dark subjects. The
exposure can be adjusted in a range of ±5.0EV.
