I'm guessing that you're talking about exposure compensation. It's
shown on the scale in the viewfinder with a plus and minus range. Plus
one exposure compensation will add shutter speed or a stop and will add
light to the exposure. Minus one will subtract shutter speed or a stop
and will subtract light from the exposure. However, unless the scene
warrants it, you will end up either overexposed (+1) or underexposed
(-1). If you're shooting RAW, you can easily get away with
underexposing by a stop. If you're shooting jpeg, the results might not
be very nice.

Does it at 1 stop (1.4) or subtract from the shutter speed?
Kind regards
