The exposure setting enables you to select the brightness level for
your picture. Normally, if your subject is centered, backlight
compensation is automatically activated, and you can shoot with
the correct exposure.
In the following cases, or when you intentionally want to change the
exposure, you can adjust the exposure setting. Exposure can be
specified in the range from -2.0 EV to +2.0 EV. Setting the level
higher (+) makes the picture brighter and lower (-) makes the
picture darker.
For backlighting
When the background is particularly bright, the subject will appear dark
(underexposed). In this case, set the exposure level higher (+).
When your subject is whitish
The entire picture will turn out dark (underexposed). Set the exposure level
higher (+).
When your subject is darkish
The entire picture will turn out bright (overexposed). Set the exposure level
lower (-).
The same happens when you take a photo of a subject in a spotlight.
