EOS REBEL T1i/EOS 500D Instruction Manual

Exposure compensation is used to alter the standard exposure set by the

camera. You can make the image look brighter (increased exposure) or

darker (decreased exposure).

The exposure compensation setting will

not be automatically canceled when you turn off the camera. After

taking the picture, reset the exposure compensation to zero.
