Exposure
Your camera adjusts the exposure of each scene automatically.  However, \
if the subject is very dark, or very bright, you may
override the cameras automatic exposure determination to make the subje\
ct brighter or darker. This is called EV compensation.
The EV compensation can be adjusted from -1.8EV to +1.8EV. To select the\
 EV compensation you wish, press the 
 button.
Then, use the 
 /  buttons to select the EV compensation you desire, and press the  button.
Examples of Exposure Compensation -
Positive (+) Compensation
  Imaging printed text (black characters on white paper)
  Portraiture with back lighting
  Very bright scenes (such as snow) and highly reflective subjects
  Shots made up predominantly of sky
Negative (-) Compensation
  Spot lighted subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds
  Imaging of printed text (white characters on black paper)
  Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of green or dark foliage
White Balance
Your camera adjusts the white balance of each scene automatically.  Howe\
ver, the images that your camera captures will appear
different under different lighting conditions (sun, shade, fluorescent,\
 tungsten lights).  Unlike your eyes, which can easily a djust to
different lighting conditions (lighting temperatures), a digital camer\
a cannot always differentiate between lighting types.  Un der
some lighting conditions the image may appear in strange shades.  If tha\
t occurs, you may change the white balance setting by
specifying a lighting condition (temperature) most appropriate for you\
r scene. To set the white balance, press the 
 button.  Then

The ISO speed defines light sensitivity.  The higher the ISO number is, \

dark situations or recording a fast-moving subject, use a high-number se\
tting.  When recording high-quality images, use a low-
number setting.  To set the ISO speed, press the 
 button.  Then select the ISO speed you prefer by using the  /  buttons
