Exposure Compensation - Kodak Digital Science DC50 Zoom User Manual

Exposure Compensation

The Exposure Compensation icon allows you to change the exposure
to adjust the camera for too dim or too bright lighting. For example, if
the primary source of light is behind your subject, you may want to
change the exposure to the highest setting.
The exposure value is automatically measured by the camera (auto
exposure). You can select an exposure value up to plus or minus two
steps from the automatically measured value. One step equals 0.5 EV
increments. A picture taken with "auto exposure +2" is brighter than a
picture taken with "auto exposure."
–1.0 EV
When you select the Exposure Compensation icon with the MODE
button, the current setting flashes. Press the SELECT button to move
through and specify an exposure value.
Any selected exposure value is canceled when you turn the camera off.
When you turn the camera back on, auto exposure with no offset is the
default setting.
Making an Exposure Value Selection
1. Press the MODE button until the Exposure Compensation icon flashes.
2. Press the SELECT button to move the selector indicator in the
Exposure Compensation icon to the exposure value that you want.
