Photo Fixing For the Perfect Exposed Photograph
Exposure adjustments are easy for digital photographers because they can directly view the image being photographed to determine it has the desired exposure or needs some photo fixing by simply eyeballing the image on the camera's LCD screen. Many digital cameras also have highlight warnings that will flash on the LCD screen and histograms that display information about bright and dark areas in the image.
The photographer can turn to exposure compensation if the exposure needs adjusting, and then retake the picture. Every camera manual has a section that explains how to use the exposure compensation. This feature is usually marked on the camera by a button displaying a rectangle with a plus appearing in one corner and minus appearing in the other. Pushing this button brings up an exposure scale on the display where you can add or subtract the amount of light for an exposure.
