This issue continues where the previous issue left off in summarizing the keys to taking better pictures. Generally speaking, the exposure is determined by a combination of shutter speed and aperture value.
Depth of field indicates how much of the image appears in focus.
However, when cameras do not have Matrix Metering, or when you shoot a backlit scene or another scene in which there is dramatic variation in brightness, optimal exposure cannot be obtained. In such situations, first take a picture based on the exposure measurement. Then take a number of pictures compensating exposure in both directions. Select the ideal picture from among the prints. In automatic exposure bracketing, consecutive shots are taken automatically at different exposure bracketing settings.
