I am not sure if exposure correction setting is a "user setting",
but it is one that gets lost on battery change.
Can be quite painful when shooting in hurry when lighting requires
some EV correction. Two times I needed to change batteries in
middle of "action", and two times I forgot to dial the correction
back.
Interesting, I'd not noticed that before. Thanks for pointing it out.
I have gotten quite used to glancing at the status display in the VF
and on the upper LCD to check EV compensation is on or off. It's
preserved through a power cycle, resets to 0 when you change
batteries. I've never needed to change batteries in the middle of
action, however, and I always return the camera to EV comp 0 when I'm
done with a few moments shooting anyway.
