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.
