Adjusting the light intensity

You can create various images by adjusting the exposure and the ISO sensitivity. Exposure is the amount of light that the camera will receive when you release the shutter.

Exposure :	Shutter speed = Length of time the camera receives light Aperture Size of the opening allowing light to pass through
		ISO sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index) = Recording sensitivity

Overexposure too much light. Whitish image	Correct exposure	Underexposure too little light. Darker image

 

The exposure is automatically set to the proper value in the auto adjustment mode.  However, you can adjust it manually using the functions below.

• Manual exposure
  Allows you to adjust the shutter speed and aperture value manually

• Adjusting EV
  Allows you to adjust the exposure determined by the camera

• Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)
  ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity.

• Metering Mode
  Allows you to change the part of the subject to be measured to determine the exposure

Basic techniques for better images

• Focusing on a subject successfully

• Adjusting the light intensity

• On “image quality” and “image size”
• On the effects of lighting
• On using the flash
