CONT

Après que l'appareil ait pris en compte le niveau de luminosité selon la méthode de mesure de la lumière (Spot, Centré ou Matricielle), il peut arriver que l'exposition globale soit trop claire ou trop foncée. Une illustration de ce phénomène est l'éclairage de côté avec une importante réflexion des objets entourant le sujet comme il peut être le cas sur la plage ou près de l'eau. Dans ce cas, la compensation de l'exposition peut être utilisée pour forcer le réglage et permettre ainsi d'éclaircir ou d'assombrir l'image.
