Shooting techniques
In normal shooting, the camera makes
automatic exposure adjustments. Check the
image to be shot, if it looks like the image
below, you should make manual adjustments.
If you are shooting a back-lit person or a
snowy scene, make your adjustments in the +
plus direction; if you are shooting a dark
subject that fills the screen, making your
adjustments in the – direction should give the
best results.
