Since I read or scan from left to right and conceptually think of underexposure
coming before overexposure, I interpret the arrows this way:


	- the leftmost arrow means underexposure and it points towards
	  the adjustment direction

	- the rightmost arrow means overexposure and it points towards
	  the adjustment direction


My problem is that I usually have set an aperture I want to keep, and thus
twiddle the shutter speed dial instead.
