Taking Photographs—Beyond Point-and-Shoot
Bright, Dark, and High-Contrast Subjects: The
Button
To obtain the desired results with certain subject compositions (for example,
when large areas of the frame are very bright, very dark, or contain areas of
strong contrast), it may be necessary to alter exposure from the value suggested
by the camera. This can be done using exposure compensation.
Exposure compensation can be set to values between –2.0 EV (underexposure)
and +2.0 EV (overexposure) in increments of
1

EV. Rotate the command dial
while pressing the
