Speed and ISO settings.

Overall brightness of a captured image may appear too dark if large parts of the framed scene are very bright or the
background is much brighter than the main subject. Overall brightness of captured image may appear too bright if large parts
of the framed scene are dim or the background is much darker than the main subject. Exposure compensation can be
