Part two reading

Chapter two is about exposure and compensation. When you use digital photography you should check the histogram after your picture to make sure the exposure is right, if not compensate and adjust the shutter speed and aperture and ISO to get the correct exposure you want. If its overly bright you should compensate by increasing exposure a half to full stop. Dark subjects you should reduce expose a half or full stop. Use a flash to help light up your subject. You also need to decide if you want more depth of field of more of an action photo. If you want more depth of field you compensate shutter speed, this is good for landscape photos. If you are shooting more action type photo you will have shallow depth of field but it will freeze the photo.

I also have a question, if you are using a point and shoot camera and you pick the setting like sunset does the camera automatically adjust for the shot? Or do you need to make adjustments yourself?
