Exposure Compensation is a great tool to 
use when you need it.

Unfortunately, on some cameras it's
possible to inadvertently turn on

Exposure Compensation. You might find
that you're shooting in an automatic

exposure mode such as Aperture Priority, 
Shutter Priority, or Program Mode

but still, all of your pictures are too
light or too dark.

If that happens, chances are you 
accidentally have Exposure Compensation

dialed in. In other words you're asking
the camera to intentionally

over expose or under expose. Again, some
cameras put the button for this in an

unfortunate place and it's easy to turn it
on without knowing it. So make sure you

understand about Exposure Compensation 
and know how to turn it on and off on

your camera.

Thanks.
