Taking pictures using exposure compensation(p. 31)

Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen fortaking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white

subjects (such as snow) results in images that aredarker than the actual subject. Use the exposurecompensation to adjust in the positive (+) directionto express whites as they appear. When takingpictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is

effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.
