Setting the Exposure
Exposure, shutter speed and ISO sensitivity affects picture brightness and overall picture quality. Longer exposure, slower
shutter speed and higher ISO sensitivity brighten the picture. Adjustment of these settings is available when you are using
(PROGRAM), A, S, and M camera modes. You can adjust the overall image brightness by adjusting the Exposure,
Shutter Speed and ISO settings.
Overall brightness of a captured image may appear too dark if large parts of the framed scene are very bright or the
background is much brighter than the main subject. Overall brightness of captured image may appear too bright if large parts
of the framed scene are dim or the background is much darker than the main subject. Exposure compensation can be
achieved by adjusting the Exposure, Shutter Speed, or ISO settings.
