Basic Photography Terms Flash Flash is ideal for taking pictures in low light conditions, or for lighting foreground objects against bright backgrounds. Exposure compensation Exposure compensation is especially useful when you’re taking photos with strong backlighting or where the whole image is very bright – for example if there’s a lot of snow or you’re on a beach. It makes photos brighter or darker. Manual focus Manual focus puts you in control, so you decide which subjects are sharp in your photos. You can create a sense of depth by showing the distance between subjects close to you and the background. If you’re taking pictures of distant objects or scenery, setting focus to infinity means you can take sharp pictures more quickly than when using autofocus. Exposure time Exposure time defines how long your camera captures light. Use slower shutter speeds when you need more light but don’t want to use the flash. Everything needs to stay still for longer, but Nokias OIS helps you take sharper photos in these cases. Faster shutter speeds are ideal when shooting moving things, but you need a lot of light. ISO ISO controls how sensitive the camera is to light. Higher ISO values enable you to shoot in lower light conditions but increase noise in your pictures. Lower ISO values reduce noise but increase the required exposure time. Try to shoot with the lowest ISO value as appropriate to get the best amount of detail. White balance White balance controls how the camera reproduces white under different lighting conditions. It ensures that things that look white to you are also reproduced white in your photos. You can also play with white balance for creative effect.
