Correcting Image Brightness (Exposure Compensation) Exposure is adjusted automatically whenever a picture is taken. The camera can, however, be set for shorter or longer exposure in five increments from -2.0 to +2.0 (increased/decreased by 0.5). If automatic exposure is used, subjects containing a lot of white will appear darker, while subjects containing a lot of black will appear lighter. Adjusting the exposure up (+) for white subjects or down (-) for black subjects will make them appear lighter or darker, respectively, in the resulting picture.

Correcting Image Brightness
(Exposure Compensation)
Exposure is adjusted automatically whenever a picture is taken. The
camera can, however, be set for shorter or longer exposure in five
increments from –2.0 to +2.0 (increased/decreased by 0.5).
If automatic exposure is used, subjects containing a lot of white will
appear darker, while subjects containing a lot of black will appear
lighter. Adjusting the exposure up (+) for white subjects or down (–) for
black subjects will make them appear lighter or darker, respectively, in
the resulting picture.
