  2. If the meter points to the right, your photo will be overexposed.
    • Try a faster shutter speed or a higher ƒ/number.
  3. If the meter points to the left, your photo will be underexposed.
    • Try a slower shutter speed or a lower ƒ/number.
  • In all other modes the camera will try to automatically select the correct exposure (0). However, if you have used the EV dial to compensate the exposure, the displays will reflect this.
