A bright snowy scene is typically underexposed. Bracketing your exposure will help in getting the right image.
Digital cameras like the Fujifilm FinePix S602z have a narrow range of exposure in their recording of a picture. While this is fine for the photographer who knows meter, if you run across a photograph with tricky or difficult lighting you can use the auto bracketing feature. Bracketing is taking additional pictures that are under- and over-exposed compared to the original picture. This way if your original exposure was off, you have two other versions.
Instructions
1. Install a new battery and memory card into the camera. Turn the camera on and select the exposure mode you want to shoot in by turning the round selector dial on the top right of the camera.
2. Press the "Menu/Ok" button located in the middle of the round directional button on the back of the camera.
3. Select "Auto Bracketing," which is the fifth icon across the bottom of the screen when you enter the camera's menus.
4. Select the amount of bracketing you want to use. The camera has three amounts that can be used to over- or under-expose the original picture. You can select from 1.0, 0.7 or 0.3 stop of exposure. Press the "OK" button to save you selection. The maximum number of images the camera will take is three, one at the correct exposure, one over-exposed and one under-exposed.
5. Hold the camera to your eye, compose the picture and press the shutter release button to take the picture. Press the shutter release button again, and the camera will take a picture using the "Auto Bracketing" program. Press the shutter release again to take the final picture of the program, after which the camera will return to normal metering. The camera will continue to take the images in this succession as long as the "Auto Bracketing" feature is enabled.
