Memo

The camera adjusts the proper exposure for the subject based on a neutral gray subject. Therefore, if you take a picture of a snowy scene or a black piano, for example, the subject may appear gray. To make black objects appear black, adjust the EV setting toward p, and to make white objects appear white, adjust it toward q.
