The Truth About Exposure Compensation 

Glad that I could help you out 😊

Thanks for sharing! I don't own any Z lenses.

I do manual with auto iso and the ring set to exposure compensation. Works so well with the Z 24-120 F4.

Thank you, I wasn't aware of that, but I don't use Canon cameras so it may be different. 🤔

Thank you

Glad it was helpful! On my D500 it was the opposite and I often had to use -0.3 to make sure I didn't overexpose images

You are very welcome Mike 🙏

You are very welcome

@CoenradJMorgan From the Nikon literature: "Highlight-weighted metering is a new metering mode that is offered in select Nikon DSLR & Mirrorless cameras, in which the camera meters the highlights to ensure that they are properly exposed and not blown out or overexposed. Use highlight-weighted metering to meter highlights when your subject is in motion, and to meter subjects lit by spotlights or colored lighting. Highlight-weighted metering is the go-to choice when you’re photographing a spot lit bride in her wedding dress, a dancer or singer on stage, or whenever you’re faced with uneven lighting and a background that is much darker than the subject."

To do this you would be in Manual Mode, and like I stated in the video Exposure Compensation doesn't work in Manual Mode. Exposure Compensation is a great tool to use when you shoot in Shutter Priority or Aperture Priority

No they are not, it's close to being overexposed, but it not.

I'm using Matrix Metering, which means that the camera's meter is looking at the whole frame, not just the center of it if I was using center-weighed metering.

@@CharlesNPhotography Thank you!

You can still overexpose a raw file 🤔

You can definitely still overexpose in raw I think you will find most people shoot in raw

Stop watching Jared Polin.

Who's that ? I promoted no one

The file format you does not change how the photo is taken, it's the setting used that matters.

Exposure Compensation will not work in Manual Mode with a set ISO. How can the camera adjust the exposure if the Exposure, Shutter speed and ISO are fixed 🤔

On My Canon 6d II when using manual mode and fixed ISO, the compensation turns to bracketing. The following 3 photos will then be taken with set shutterspeed +/- 1 stop.

@@CharlesNPhotography The camera does not adjust but it offsets the lightmeter. Lets say without compensation, 1/125, f8 and iso100, the lightmeter is exact in the middle; correct exposure. When correction set at-1 stop, the "correct" exposure according to your lightmeter is now 1/125 f11, iso 100. Try it.

@@CharlesNPhotography Too bad I cannot post pictures.

Charles is correct. I tried this on my D810; yes it allows you to use the exposure compenastation function but nothing happens to any of the three settings (shutter, aperture & ISO). I checked all images I test shot. The exposure stays the same. I tested my D700 & the venerable D200 as well; both the same results. Once you swith to AutoISO the exposure compensation works.
