TIPS
• Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural
colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects closer to their real shades. For
the same reason, adjust toward – when shooting dark subjects.
• In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the
camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually.
Note
• If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from the
intended brightness.
• Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the surroundings of the
subject are extremely bright or dark.
