TIPS
•
Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their
natural colors. Adjusting makes these subjects closer to
their real shades. For the same reason, adjust toward – when
shooting dark subjects.
•
If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from
the intended brightness.
•
Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the surroundings
of the subject are extremely bright or dark.
