Adjust the exposure compensation (images
only). If you are shooting a dark subject against
a very light background, such as snow, adjust the
exposure to +1 or +2 to compensate for the
background brightness. For light subjects
against a dark background, use -1 or -2.

Adjust light sensitivity (images only). Increase
the light sensitivity in low light conditions to
avoid too dark images and blurry images.
Increasing the light sensitivity may also increase
the image noise.

between the modes does not reset the defined settings.
If you select a new scene, the capture settings are replaced
by the selected scene. You can change the capture settings
after selecting a scene if needed.
