Tips on outdoor lighting
Outdoors, your camera's electric
eye controls the lens opening and
shutter speed to let just the right
amount of light reach the film.
The electric eye works best when
the scene is
evenly
lit. It can be
"fooled" by uneven lighting as
described below.
Bright backgrounds: White wall,
swimming pool, beach or snow
scenes, etc.
When a bright background is a
large part of the scene and reflects
more light than your subject, the
electric
eye sets the camera for the
background causing your subject
to appear too dark in the picture

You can do one of Iwo things before
taking the picture:
• move
closer to your subject to re-
duce the effect of the background
(bottom right)
• turn the Lighten/Darken control
toward Lighten (shown below) to
lighten your subjecl.
