Shooting techniques
While shooting images, the camera
automatically determines the exposure. When
shooting a whitish overall image such as a
backlit subject or a snowy scene, the camera
judges that the subject is bright and may set a
darker exposure for the image. In such cases,
adjustment of the exposure in the + plus
direction is effective.
When shooting a darker overall image, the
camera judges that the subject is dark and may
set a brighter exposure for the image. In such
cases, adjustment of the exposure in the –
minus direction is effective.
You can check the exposure referring to the
histogram chart. Be careful not to overexpose
or underexpose your subject (giving a whitish
or darkish image).
You can try to adjust the exposure to suit your
taste.
