Shooting techniques
When shooting images, the camera 
automatically sets the exposure.
When shooting a whitish overall image 
such as a backlit subject or a snowy 
scene, the camera may judge that the 
subject is bright and set a darker exposure 
for the image. In such cases, adjusting 
the exposure in the + (plus) direction is 
effective.

When shooting a dark subject that fills 
the frame, the camera may judge that the 
subject is dark and set a brighter exposure 
for the image. In such cases, adjusting 
the exposure in the – (minus) direction is 
effective.

Refer to the histogram and adjust so that 
the image is not overexposed (white out) or 
underexposed (black out).

Try various images with different 
exposures to find the brightness that suits 
your taste.
