AE is an abbr

eviation for Auto Exposur

e.

Automatic exposur

e works by selecting

an average value of all the dif

fer
ent tones

in the shot. If two dif

fer
ent objects have an

equal amount of dark and light par

ts, they

will have the same exposur

e value.

However

, when the scene is dominated

by dark shadows or light objects, the AE

system does not work pr

operly

, and may

fail to select the best exposur

e. For

example, if you captur

e a bride in white

wedding dr

ess, the image becomes

darker than it actually looks. The camera

tries to neutralize the light and dark

por

tions and the dr

ess becomes gray

while skin tone becomes too dark.
