TIPS

• Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural

colors. Adjust toward + to make these subjects closer to their real shades. For
the same reason, adjust toward – when taking dark subjects.

• In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the

camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually.

Note

• [F] is not available in

h mode.

• 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.
