taking great photographs. Good color composition is

also invaluable. Your PhotoPC 3000Z gives you complete

control over exposure, color, and other lighting condition

settings. See the following sections to change your settings:

◗ Adjusting exposure

NOTE

The settings in this chapter require that you set your user mode

to Manual or Program. See page 1-9 to change the user mode

for your camera.

Adjusting Exposure

Your camera normally adjusts exposure automatically.

However, you may want to increase the exposure setting if

you want to lighten your picture or if you’re taking pictures

of an object against a bright background (where your subject

may be underexposed), such as sand or snow on a sunny day.
