Ricoh G700 manual Exposure Compensation, For backlighting, When your subject is whitish

62

Exposure Compensation

Use exposure compensation to vary exposure from the value selected by the camera. Choose from values between –2 and +2; negative values produce darker pictures, positive values brighter pictures. Exposure compensation may be required in the following situations:

For backlighting

When the background is particularly bright, the subject will appear dark (underexposed). In this case, set the exposure level higher (+).

When your subject is whitish

The entire picture will turn out dark (underexposed). Set the exposure level higher (+).

When your subject is darkish

The entire picture will turn out bright (overexposed). Set the exposure level lower (–). The same happens when you take a photo of a subject in a spotlight.
