My shoot from yesterday is damaged. Whatever I shot in TV mode....the exposure compensation was set at + 1 2/3.

I am now trying to fix it. It is set in the AV, TV, and P modes. When i select the AEB button on the top of the camera, the setting is at 0.

When I go to the MENU. It says AEB is not at ZERO but is set at +1 2/3 and when I do the spread, two levels go out to the right and left from there.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

HELP

Jon:
You total numbskull! Please refer to page 81 of the "users manual". Apparently, oh lame one, you held the shutter 1/2 way down as some point and joggled the large dial on the back of the camera setting the exp compensation to + 1 2/3. Now do the reverse to set it to zero. And turn the large dial on the back of the camera to OFF!

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh.
