But as the manual describes different procedures for the shutter timing and the LEDs adjustment it is possible that the shutter speeds you get in "A" mode are different than the ones shown by the meter LEDs. So it may be worth checking if the shutter actually works at the same speed as the LEDs indicate. In low light this could be done quite easy I guess - you should hear or see the difference between 1/4 and 1 second. So if the shutter works correctly there's no need to use the EV compensator. If not you might want to consider using the ISO settings dial to adjust. Thus you still have the EV compensation when needed.
