Program Auto mode, found in your Sony mirrorless camera, automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture, based on a built-in program. This is often a useful mode if you want to shoot snapshots or, you're dealing with tough lighting. In this video, author Richard Harrington demonstrates how to adjust exposure compensation.
- Exposure compensation is a very useful…and very powerful command.…It will likely become one of your…most used options when shooting.…And it's particularly useful…when dealing with lighting situations…that can throw off the camera's light meter.…This is particularly true if you're shooting…on a dark background or with a really…bright background or strong backlighting.…Essentially, it's really great…for controlling the tone of your photos.…And you can adjust this in a fractional…or whole-stop increments.…Now, on some cameras, you'll find an exposure compensation…dial right on top of the camera.…
On other cameras, it might be accessible…with a modification or a menu,…or a push button and then a turn.…For example, on this camera,…I can access it by pressing down…on the command dial and now turning.…And you see that I can force the internal program…to modify its behavior,…all the way from plus or minus five stops.…Simply rotating the dial or changing the wheel…will change the value.…And this allows you to make a positive…
