Exposure: Short setting tips

  • You do not need to always belief in your automatically exposure from your camera sometime it’s very exciting and challenging when you set your own exposure value, here is the suggestion of the situations:

  • Beware if…Very Bright Sunlight
  • Very bright sun can overcome your camera, specially if the scene is filled with intensely colored clothing (white shirt), reflective surfaces (such as mirror). You can take the under exposure -1 EV and then see the better result.






  • Beware if…The sun is behind your subject


    If you are taking a picture of someone or something that got the shadow from the reason that the sun is behind them. The bright background will cause the camera to underexpose the scene. You need to use the Spot meter to measure the light from the brighter thing before you take the shot of the under shadow things. Some say that to take a shot of an outdoor portrait is putting the sun over your shoulder. Even so, if you find the sun behind your subject, take the overexpose EV +1.


  • Beware if… Low Light
  • In low light, such as at night, indoors, or under thick cloud cover, you can often get better results by overexposing the scene slightly, such as with an EV +1. As you can see that how level of EV is depend on the dark level; if more dark should use high EV.
