Hello again, it's Karen from the photography playground. Let's get practical. before we're diving in, you need to know that all the screenshots I will show you were made in vertical format. Because of the design of the camera. I want you to start practicing in the horizontal format from the start, which is now when you hold your front horizontal, you can use both your thumbs to navigate through the menu, your left thumb to select an icon and your right thumb to slide through the wheel and press the shutter. To get an understanding of all the exposure modes.

I'll go into each one of them in the coming lectures. Starting with the automatic mode. Start by activating automatic mode in menu. in automatic mode, you won't be able to set the shutter speed and the ISO but you can enter in over expose. There are two ways to do that. One way to enter overexpose is by using the exposure service which you'll have to activate first in the settings.

The yellow circle is the exposure circle and the blue square is the focus point. If you place the exposure circle in the area you want to expose properly, the camera will adjust the settings. Here it is placed on the dark statue over exposing the image slightly. And here it is placed on the white wall and exposing it slightly. Using the exposure circle can be a fast route to adjusting the exposure. But it doesn't give you a whole lot of control over the amount of Anor over exposure.

The other way to enter overexposed is to use the exposure compensation setting. Click the exposure compensation icon and slide the controller to the left or to the right. Going into the plus values will over expose and going into the minus values will underexpose using the exposure compensation will give you more control over The amount of Anor over exposure because you can set the slider rather precisely. In the next lecture, we'll discuss the semi automatic modes and how to work with them. See you there and until then happy photographing
