Hey John, I finally learned this a few days ago so I'm all excited to share
my knowledge! ;-)
Next to the shutter release is a little button with +/- on it. Hold that
down while rotating the control dial and watch the screen on the back of
camera. It lets you set the exposure compensation. But don't ask me how
much compensation to set because I don't know what snow is.
