Subject too dark

Cause

Solution

Camera’s photocell mea- sured the bright window light, causing the subject to be too dark.

When a bright source of light (lamplight, candle- light, etc.) is in the central part of the scene and in front of the subject, the camera’s photocell will measure the bright light, causing the subject to be too dark.

Move the source of light to one side of your subject so it is not in the central part of the scene.
