★ When a bright background occupies most of the
picture such as when a picture is taken against
backlight, under a bright sky or near a window,
the people who are subjects will be
underexposed and may appear as dark
silhouettes. For pictures such as these,
increase the amount of exposure by placing
compensation between +1/3 to +2EV. You can
also use this feature in taking pictures where
you want to intentionally increase exposure
such as in giving a bright finish to the entire
picture or the dark sections of a building with
strong contrasts between dark and light.
★ When you have a dark background such as
people posed against a black backdrop or when
they are illuminated by a spotlight, the people
will be overexposed and appear whitish. For
these pictures, set the exposure compensation
to -1/3 to -2EV to reduce exposure. You can
use this feature in taking pictures where you
want to intentionally decrease exposure such
as in giving a dark finish to the entire picture or
creating a scene of the background with sky
emphasized.
★ When it is difficult to determine what the
exposure should be, we recommend taking a
number of pictures with the exposure quantity
changed in one-third steps negative and
positive for each one.
