basic exposure question

[bballboy30]

Hi,

I have the digital rebel and am using it with the sigma bigma. I have been shooting in Av mode. I was wondering if there was a way to adjust the exposure if you think the camera will underexpose. I know you could go to M mode or increase the aperature. However, is there another (quicker) way to do it?

Thanks.

Most Canon cameras tend to underexpose by 2/3 stop. Use your exposure compensation by setting it to 2/3 over expose. I noticed that my D60 underexposes dark settings, but not light. Be carefull when shooting in daylight with the compensation set to 2/3 over. See if that helps.

Use exposure compensation and increase EC by however many stops or fraction of a stop you think you'll need to get a good exposure.

Thanks guys.

Exposure compensation was what I was trying to think of.
