OK You pay for the replacement

Some cameras have an exposure compensation function.
You can set an over exposure of +0.3EV, +0.6 EV, & +1EV.
This will add precisely that value to any meter reading the camera sees.
Early DSLR's under exposed by about 1/3EV to preserve highlight detail.
You could of course correct with software on the computer.

FOUND IT

Button on top near ON/OFF
AV
Press
Turn thumb wheel
Select compensation level
Release button

To turn off press AV and green button

That should do it

One last point
