I went to the store this morning and I took the little point and shoot Nikon Coolpix S7000 with me. I think it did okay. I also think I misremembered what was going wrong before. I think the washed out over-exposed pics were the ones that I took outside, not inside. I think it was the time Jen and I were in Disney World together after one of her company trips that I noticed it. I probably set the white balance to daylight to compensate for it in the park. It’s all coming back to me.
So if it happens again, what do I do? Well, now that I know a little more about how exposure works, I will just drop the exposure compensation a stop or two (don’t I sound like I know what I am talking about? No?) and see if that helps.
Until that time, here’s a couple of test drive pics from this morning.
These all look okay to me. Nothing special, but also nothing gross. I guess it’s good to go for now?
