Adjusting the settings to suit a bright/dark subject ( )
If your subject is extremely bright or dark, or if there is a considerable
difference between the brightness of the subject and the brightness of the
background, you can adjust the brightness using the exposure compensation
feature. You can adjust the brightness between +2.0 and –2.0 in 1/3 steps.
Press the OK button in shooting
mode.
The first menu is displayed.
Press to go to the exposure
compensation settings.
Press or to select the
exposure compensation value.
: Adjusts towards [+] to give a
brighter image.
: Adjusts towards [–] to give a
darker image.
Press the OK button.
The selected exposure compensation
value is set.
Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural
colors. Adjusting towards [+] makes these subjects closer to their real shades.
For the same reason, adjust towards [–] when shooting dark subjects.
We recommend that you return the exposure compensation value to 0 after
taking a picture with an adjusted exposure compensation.
If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from the
intended brightness (exposure).
