Exposure Compensation
You can use
Exposure Compensation
to override the camera's automatic exposure
setting.
Exposure Compensation
is useful in scenes that contain many light objects
(like a white object against a light background) or many dark objects (like a black object
against a dark background). Such scenes could turn out gray without the use of
Exposure Compensation
. For a scene with many light objects, increase the
Exposure
Compensation
to a positive number. For a scene with many dark objects, decrease the
Exposure Compensation
.
Tip
To see the effect varying
Exposure Compensation
settings might have on
a scene, try the
Exposure
option in
Bracketing
(see
Bracketing
under
Adaptive Lighting
This setting balances the relationship between bright and dark areas in a picture,
preserving gentle contrasts while reducing harsh contrasts. When used with a flash,
Adaptive Lighting
can brighten areas that a flash wouldn’t reach.
Adaptive Lighting
is useful in situations like these:
●
Outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade
●
High contrast scenes that contain both light and dark objects
●
Indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or even out the effect of the
flash)
●
Backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the flash to reach, or is severely
backlit (for example, in front of a window)
You can use
Adaptive Lighting
with or without flash, but it is not recommended as a
replacement for flash. Unlike the flash,
Adaptive Lighting
does not affect exposure
settings, so brightened areas may appear noisy or grainy, and indoor or night images
may be blurry if taken without a flash or a tripod.
