Exposure & Lighting

Exposure

Taking stills using the strobe of an LED can sometimes cause a scene to be overexposed.

Manual Exposure Settings

To compensate, instead of turning down the exposure of your preview feed, you can adjust the strobe compensation so that when a picture is taken, the exposure values are temporarily lowered. This will allow you to accurately frame your preview to match the same relative exposure of the photos.
