EV Comp Guru Question

Postby SoCal Steve on Tue Apr 12, 2005 9:53 pm

Okay, here's a question that's got me quite puzzled. And please think about it before you give your final answer.

When you dial in an exposure compensation, say EV+1, EV-2, or whatever, where does that change in exposure come from? I have not been able to see any change in ISO, shutter speed or f/stop to account for these compensations that are added to or subtracted from the exposures to change them. So were does the change in exposure come from?? :roll:

Can anybody answer this one? Feel free to use one of your lifelines if necessary.

Steve - I use aperture priority quite a bit in my work and when I dial in + or - exposure compensation the shutter speed changes :!:

Yeah, my Sony. It does appear to change. I could swear that nothing was changing. I think my brain has stopped working. Maybe I should go to bed now.

If you are in shutterpriority then the Fstop should change.
