Didn't I say that, possibly poorly?

Actually EV compensation affects manual mode by changing how the meter
reads out. So putting settings that "match the needle" in will reflect
your compensation amount. Also the green button will reset to the
program line with compensation if it is engaged.

I've been puzzled by this. How does it work? There are only three
variables--sensitivity, aperture, shutter speed. Doesn't it have to
adjust one of those? Then what's with a separate function?
If you use your camera on fully manual settings (ISO, iris, shutter
speed) then exposure compensation is not relevant.
If you are using an automatic setting (eg program, aperture value,
shutter value) then the suggested exposure by the camera may not appeal
to you. Hence you can adjust the camera's 'thought' on what it thinks is
the right exposure for your scene.
Think of sitting on a bus. You paid your ticket and chose your seat,
you've paid for your bag and all is good. It should be a perfect trip.
But you decide that the driver is going too fast for your liking - he
has a dial on his back that you can turn either way to make him slow
down - or go faster!
Of course, there may be any number of reasons why the camera's own
thoughts on the exposure in hand isn't right. With me, it's usually
because a scene is backlit and the subject is too dark. Turning the dial
in the '+' direction overexposes what the camera thinks is right,
allowing more light in, but in doing so my subject becomes better exposed.
Hope this helps :-)
