TIPS

•Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural colors. Adjust toward + to make these subjects closer to their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when taking dark subjects.

•In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually.

Note

•If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from the intended brightness.

•Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the surroundings of the subject are extremely bright or dark.
