Changing the Exposure (EXPOSURE COMP.)
The exposure setting allows you to select brightness levels for your shots.
Normally, if your subject is centered, backlight compensation is automatically
activated, and you can shoot with correct exposure.
However, in the following cases, or when you intentionally want to change the
exposure, you can change the exposure setting. Exposure can be specified in
the range from -2.0 to +2.0. Setting the level higher (+) makes pictures
brighter and lower (-) makes pictures darker.
For Backlighting
When the background is particularly bright, the subject will be dark (under-
exposure). In this case, set the exposure level higher (+).
When your subject is whitish
It will turn out entirely dark (underexposure). Set the exposure level higher (+).
When your subject is darkish
It will turn out entirely bright (overexposure). Set the exposure level lower (-).
The same happens when you take photos of people in a spotlight.
