Shift in Exposure Comp value on the resultant pic | Basics of Photography | Photo Forum

Saurabh… I understand that you have a Nikon DSLR. I have the d5100 and I checked how exposure compensation looks on my camera.

The number for exposure compensation appears with the data on a finished image as a number between 5.0 and -5.0 next to the little box with a + or a – on it. When there is exposure compensation the box and number are highlighted. When there is no compensation the box is dimmed and there is no number.

The compensation value can be set before taking the photo in the menu or with the +- button at the top of the camera. If it is truly set to 0.0 the resulting file should only show dimmed out boxes (there is one also for flash) in the data on the screen.

I know that this does not help if your camera is working differently.
I would take it to a dealer to see if it needs to be fixed.
