Eric, here's a concrete answer from my concrete little brain:

If you're in Program mode, the exposure compensation adjustment (the
+/- button + the rear dial on the K-5) moves the exposure the desired
number of stops up or down the program line; i.e. generally adjusts
both shutter and aperture and leaves ISO alone.

If you're in aperture priority mode, it adjusts shutter speed, and
vice versa. If you're in TAV mode, it adjusts the ISO.

Hope that helps.
