Shooting techniques

In normal shooting, the camera makes automatic exposure adjustments. Check the image to be shot, if it looks like the image below, you should make manual adjustments. If you are shooting a back-lit person or a snowy scene, make your adjustments in the + plus direction; if you are shooting a dark subject that fills the screen, making your adjustments in the – direction should give the best results.
