Figure 1-19. Shallow Depth of Field
Exposure
Exposure controls the brightness of the photograph. Underexposure is
a common problem indoors, and overexposure is a common problem
outdoors. This section identifies and corrects any problems you may
have with exposure.
As with all cameras, getting the right exposure can be tricky,
especially when dealing with bright light sources or a mix of light
sources and shadows. Once you become familiar with how the
FC-2500 reacts to certain environments, you can fine tune your
settings appropriately. Do the following to avoid underexposure or
overexposure:
• The main reason for incorrect exposure is using the wrong
settings.
• Centering your ROI square on a light bulb, the sun, or any other
source of light causes a severe overexposure and in turn, an
underexposure in the surrounding areas.
• Centering your ROI square on a very dark area causes the rest of
the photo to be overexposed.
