  If the picture taken with your Kodak Digital Camera is too light, it could be due to several reasons. The flash may not be needed, so change to Auto flash. The subject may have been too close when the flash was used, so move further away. The light sensor may be covered, so hold the camera so your hands or other objects do not cover the light sensor. Finally, the lighting condition may be too bright, so decrease exposure compensation.

  If the pictures taken with your Kodak Digital Camera are too dark, there could be several reasons. First, the flash might not be on or did not function; turn on the flash. Second, the subject might be too far away for the flash to have an effect; move closer to the subject. Third, the subject might be in front of a bright light, in which case you should use Fill flash or change your position. Finally, the lighting condition might be too dark; increase Exposure Compensation or Long Time Exposure.
