Note:
An exposure compensation set on the camera only
influences the measurement of available light. If you
want to simultaneously use compensation of the TTL
flash exposure metering in flash mode – in parallel or
in the opposite direction, you must make this additional
setting (on the flash unit). Refer to the sections on
flash mode from p. 143 for details.

With very bright subjects, such as snow or a beach,
the exposure meter specifies a relatively fast shutter
speed due to the extreme brightness. As a result, the
snow shows up in an average gray and any people in
the photograph are too dark: this is under exposure!
To remedy this problem, the shutter speed needs to
be lenghtened or the aperture increased, i.e. a setting
of perhaps +1 1 / EV needs to be made.

For very dark subjects that reflect very little light,
the exposure meter selects a shutter speed that is too
slow. A black car will appear gray: this is over exposure!
The shutter speed needs to be shortened, i.e. a set-
ting of perhaps –1 EV is required.
