Using exposure compensation to adjust picture
brightness

You can adjust exposure compensation to make your pictures darker or lighter.

■ Press to decrease exposure compensation.

■ Press to increase exposure compensation.

The exposure compensation level is shown on the LCD; the LCD gets brighter or dimmer.

34 www.kodak.com/go/support

Doing more with your camera

Using the histogram to view picture brightness

Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a
picture. If the peak is to the right of the graph, the subject is bright; if it’s to the left,
the subject is dark. Optimal exposure is achieved when the peak is in the middle of
the histogram. The flash may affect a picture’s light and shadow.

To turn on the histogram in Capture mode or in
Review, press the LCD/Info button until

the histogram appears.

Using the framing grid to compose a picture

The framing grid divides the LCD into thirds—vertically and horizontally. This is
helpful if, for example, you want to balance a picture between water, earth, and sky.

To turn on the framing grid in Auto/SCN mode,
press the LCD/Info button until the grid
appears.
