Exposure Compensation

Exposure Compensation (n.) A camera setting that allows the photographer to override the automatic exposure setting, making the image brighter or darker. In mobile photography, this feature is often accessible through a slider or +/- buttons in the camera interface. Exposure compensation is useful in situations where the camera’s automatic metering might be fooled, such as very bright or dark scenes, or when creative over or underexposure is desired. Understanding and using exposure compensation can significantly improve a mobile photographer’s ability to capture challenging scenes accurately.
