Exposure Compensation - Olympus EVOLT E-330 Advanced Manual

Using exposure compensation
When shooting a picture with background, select
a background that will bring out the shape and
color of the flower. A simple background will bring
out the subject. When shooting bright and whitish
flowers, adjust exposure compensation to -
(minus) so that the flower stands out from the
dark background.
Changing shooting mode
The method to capture a subject changes according to
the type of subject you wish to emphasize, be it a field or
a bunch of flowers. To change the focus area, set to A
(aperture priority shooting) mode and select the aperture
value.
• When you open the aperture (decrease the aperture
value), the camera will focus within a shorter range
(shallow depth of field), producing an emphasized subject
with a blurred background.
• When you close the aperture (increase the aperture
value), the camera will focus over a wider range (more depth of field), producing a
picture with clear focus.
You can use the preview function to confirm the changes in the depth of field
when the aperture is changed.
