Shooting techniques

Normally, the camera automatically adjusts the exposure. If the image is too dark or too bright as shown below, we recommend that you adjust the exposure manually. When shooting a back-lit subject or a subject against a white (e.g. snowy) background, adjust the exposure toward the + side. When shooting a brightly lit subject (e.g. spotlight) against a dark background, adjust the exposure toward the – side.
