- Why are people dark in my daytime shots?

Camera is fooled by the strong light from the sun; shot is too dark		Exposure lightened by pointing camera down to lock exposure on darker area then recomposing		With flash turned on, subject is properly lit

If your subject is too dark on a bright sunny day then move the camera down a little, away from the bright light, hold your finger halfway down on the shutter to keep the exposure and then re-compose the shot.

You may find it hard to use the shutter button to control the exposure on your camera. Another technique to soften light in the day-time is to use fill-in flash.

Make sure the flash on your camera is turned on, your camera will automatically work out the best exposure, particularly if the subject is close.
