Manual Exposure Adjustment
At times, backlit subjects may appear too dark (underexposed) or sub- jects under very strong lights may appear too bright or glaring (overex- posed). To correct this, you can adjust the exposure manually or use the Touch AE function to automatically set the optimal exposure for the subject you select. This is convenient when the brightness of the sub- ject you want to shoot is noticeably brighter/darker than the general brightness of the image.
