I notice in the EXIF in Zoombrowser the "Exposure Compensation" is always listed. Just under that, "Digital Exposure Compensation" is listed sometimes and is often negitive while the Exposure Compensation is positive. At times the EC will be =+1.0 while the DCE will = -1.0. I can't find Digital Exposure Compensation mentioned in the Canon manual. How do these two differ and is the Digital Compensation automatic?

I would guess that the digital variety is applied after the picture is taken; either in-camera or in a photo editor. The EXIF data contains a few fields for post-processing like this.

You are probably correct then. I didn't realize some of the fields were post-processing correction.

Thanks

Yup.. digital is when you push/pull in your RAW converter. I never saw it till I pushed an image in Canon's DPP utility one day, and then I saw it, listed just below my in-camera exposure comp.
