Canon EOS 1000 F - Manual (Page 71)

Use exposure compensation for intention­
ally underexposed or overexposed pic­
tures. The compensation range is up to
+ 1-2 stops in half-stop increments.
While pressing the exposure compensation
button, turn the electronic input dial until
the exposure level mark is set to the
desired exposure compensation amount.
• Exposure compensation remains ac­
tive until canceled.
• To cancel exposure compensation,
repeat the above procedure to return
the value to 0, or set the command dial
to the green zone or to any of the P.I.C.
modes.
• When used in the manual exposure
mode, the metered standard value is
also compensated.
