Exposure, image and
color
If you wish to go beyond simple shooting using only the shutter button,
you will find various functions that can be used to modify
image/brightness/exposure parameters to achieve remarkably better
results.
For instance, if you want to shoot atmospheric pictures indoors, or if your
subject would strongly reflect the flash light, shooting without the flash
would typically result in a blurred or dark picture. To overcome this
problem, try adjusting the ISO setting; use a lower ISO value with normal
light, and a higher ISO value with dark subjects.
With exposure compensation you can adjust the image brightness and
make a significant difference to how the picture turns out. Try adjusting
toward “–” when you want to capture images with a dark background
such as green leaves in shadow or crimson foliage on a mountainside.
The red, green, and yellow of autumn leaves will be beautifully
reproduced, standing out against the background.
