I am reading Scott Kelby's Digital Photography series and he keeps talking about metering off an object and then changing the exposure compensation a certain amount of stops. I realize there is an actual "exposure compensation" feature on cameras, however, if I were to increase the exposure compensation -1, couldn't I just increase the shutter speed and make the close the aperture? Like, if I was on F/8 for 1/250 sec. and I changed the compensation to -1, couldn't I just leave the compensation at 0 and go to F/11 for 1/500 sec? Or am I misunderstanding the use of compensation?
