Intro | Metering | Sensitivity | Exposure Compensation | Image AdjustmentEvery photographer knows that obtaining the correct exposure is one of the most important parts of the process called "photography". When setting exposure it is important to understand the impression that a particular image is inended to give to the viewer. In certain cases, areas of the image may need to be over- or under-exposed to convey a certain mood or accentuate a particular detail, wheras in other situations it may be inportant for the overall image to look natural, even though the local lighting conditions makes this difficult or even impossible to acheive with a film camera.
When set to A Rec mode, the Coolpix E-900, E-700 and E-950 cameras all manage to acheive a remarkably even and pleasing result in all kinds of lighting conditions.
However, it is possible, by using the features of the M Rec mode to make fine adjustment to the final image that the camera produces and to thereby control the emphasis and emotion that the lighting conveys. The Coolpix E-950 and E-700 offer four controls which affect the exposure setting of the camera (the E-900 has two): this document explains their effect and gives advice on how to use them.
