You do not need to shoot in M mode. Just set your EV up +1 or +1.5.
You might then need to remember to set it back when done as that setting persists on some vameras through power off.
That's true, but it is so much easier to change exposure in M mode than button through to exposure compensation.
You can make a dozen different "compensating" photos in M in the time you adjust with Exp. Comp.
