I usually try to set my exposure so that there will be a whitest white and
blackest black, using the full range of illumination. I use manual mode a
lot, and set ISO, aperature and shutter speed accordingly. I have a Canon
S3.
Occasionally, in below average lighting conditions, I can't adjust the S3
to
get a black black and white white. I get shots which can have a white
white
and blacks stop at gray, or a black black with whites that stop at gray.
Is this normal and just the nature of certain exposures or is there always
a
way to get a full range of lighting?
