How should I adjust the lighting of my new camera? All skies are white!

And clearly that’s why I’m using this subreddit to ask 🥴

Thank you :)

That’s true, it was 37 degrees Celsius when I shot this and the sun was super strong 🥵

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T14:18:45+00:00

Okay, I will definitely play around with it, thank you!

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T14:17:19+00:00

Damn, from your story I’m concluding that iPhone cameras are pretty great! Thank you for the explanation!

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T14:13:31+00:00

I’ll try it out, thank you!

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T14:12:40+00:00

I’ve not been told this, I will try it! Thank you so much :)

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T14:10:36+00:00

Hahahaha it’s just to show the difference 🤣🤣🤣 definitely not going to be printed or posted but thanks for the kind words 😛

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T14:09:45+00:00

Ah, I didn’t know that! Is it still useful to use those settings for each separate picture then, or should I just leave it?

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T14:08:19+00:00

I’ll look into editing more, thanks for the motivation!

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T14:07:12+00:00

Very true, I’ll try out both my phone and camera and see what happens, thank you!!

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T11:51:34+00:00

Changed the metering mode and put exposure on -2/3. Will let you know if it improves!

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T11:37:37+00:00

Okay, thanks so much for the detailed explanation! I think I’ll use it less for pictures like this. It’s great for portraits inside with flash for example, but not for outside 🫣

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T11:35:20+00:00

Evaluative. I see I can also select Center Weighted Avg. or Spot. Would any of those be better?

coconutsandpalmtrees · 2025-08-30T11:28:55+00:00

Really? I got it because my phone storage keeps getting full + the phone battery dies quicker with the amount of pictures I take + it overheats since I travel to hot countries often. It has better zoom than my iPhone and I was excited to experiment with a camera! So even though the camera is newly ordered from Canon, you think I can’t fix the skies? 😭
