[QUOTE="hark, post: 372538, member: 13196"] If you are shooting in aperture priority, here are a couple rules of thumb: If the scene is bright or overly white (as in snow-covered), the meter will read the scene and underexpose. So when your scene is extremely bright or you are shooting lots of snow or ice, you should adjust the + button. [B]When it's bright, go brighter.[/B] If the scene is somewhat dark or is a night shot, then the meter will read the scene and overexpose. For these photos, you need to adjust the - button. [B]When it's dark, go darker.[/B] Of course there will be exceptions which will depend on each individual scene and the desired outcome. [/QUOTE]
