Fine-Tuning Exposure

Exposure can be fine-tuned separately for each Custom Settings bank
and is not affected by two-button resets. Note that as the exposure
compensation (

E) icon is not displayed, the only way to determine

how much exposure has been altered is to view the amount in the fine-
tuning menu.
