Can you adjust how to meter for the exposure; ie spot metering? If so this will give a much more accurate reading.
I prefer overcast days for flower photography as you don't get unwanted shadows. But not too low a light level.
When you edit your photos don't use any of the Auto settings. Learn to understand adjusting with Curves or Levels to give each image the exact amount of required tweak. This does appear very complicated at first but it isn't really too bad once you jump in and give it a try. There are many free online tutorials about this subject. So just experiment until it begins to make sense. |
My camera has a manual mode and I can change aperture, ISO etc. But I can't change any flash compensation. I can change the exposure compensation though (-2.0 to +2.0)
