Using Exposure Compensation
The camera tends to lower exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects
and to increase exposure when the frame is mostly dark. Positive compensation may
therefore be required to capture the brilliancy of very bright objects that fill the frame
(for example, sunlit expanses of water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much
brighter than the main subject. Negative compensation may be called for when large
areas of the frame contain very dark objects (for example, a swath of dark green leaves)
or when the background is much darker than the main subject.
