Adjusting the exposure
Exposure refers to the amount of light the
camera captures when a photo is taken.
The camera’s default exposure setting is Auto, to
adjust the exposure of your photos automatically.
However, you can manually adjust the exposure to
change the darkness or brightness of your photos for
certain conditions.
Adjust the exposure to + when:
❏ You want to make your photos lighter.
❏ The photo you have taken is too dark, and you
want to increase the brightness.
❏ You are taking pictures of a white object which
may tend to look grayish in the photos.
❏ You are taking pictures of an object with a bright
background, such as windows facing the sun.
❏ You are taking photos at the beach or in the snow
on sunny days, or taking photos of an object with
a white background.
