At values other than ±0.0, the 0 at the
center of the exposure indicators will
flash (modes P, S, A, SCENE, and %) and a
E icon will be displayed in the control
panel and viewfinder after you release
the E button.
The current value for
exposure compensation can be
confirmed in the exposure indicator by pressing the E button.
Normal exposure can be restored by setting exposure
compensation to ±0. Except in SCENE and % modes, exposure
compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off (in
SCENE and % modes, exposure compensation will be reset when
another mode is selected or the camera is turned off).

indicator; shutter speed and aperture do not change.
A Exposure Compensation (Live View)
When the live view selector is rotated to C, exposure compensation
can be set to values between –5 and +5 EV, but only values between
–3 and +3 can be previewed in the monitor.
