Using exposure compensation to adjust brightness

In Auto, Landscape, Close-up, and P modes, you can adjust exposure compensation to

make your pictures darker or lighter. Press to increase exposure compensation, and to decrease exposure compensation.

The exposure compensation level is shown on the LCD +0.3 and the LCD gets brighter or dimmer.

Using the histogram to view picture brightness

Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a picture. If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if the peak is to the left, the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of the histogram.

To turn on the histogram in Auto, Landscape, Close-up, SCN, P/M, or Review, press the LCD/Info

button until the histogram appears.

NOTE: If a scene is dark or light, you can adjust the exposure compensation before taking the picture.
