MP and lower picture sizes. (In Smart Capture mode, ISO 1600 is the maximum.)
Flash Compensation—adjust flash brightness.
Exposure Compensation—adjust the exposure. If the picture is too light, decrease
the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.
Shutter speed—control how long the shutter stays open. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)
Aperture—(also known as f-stop) control the size of the lens opening, which determines the depth of field.
Smaller f-stop numbers indicate a larger lens opening; good for low-light.
Larger f-stop numbers indicate a smaller lens opening; keeps the main subject
sharp; good for landscapes and well-lit conditions.

Using exposure compensation with exposure bracketing

In PASM modes, you can use exposure compensation in conjunction with exposure bracketing to get the best exposure.
If the exposure compensation is set to:
0.0 +1.0 –1.0
And if the exposure bracketing interval is set to 0.3 steps:
(Set the Exposure Bracketing Interval
in the Capture + menu.)
Then the exposures taken are:
–0.3, 0.0, +0.3
+0.7, +1.0, +1.3
–1.3, –1.0, –0.7

Using the histogram to view picture brightness

Use the histogram to evaluate the distribution of light before or after you take a picture. 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 Info button until the histogram appears.
Dark picture Balanced picture Bright picture

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/off the framing grid, see page 36.

Your r i ghts
