Summary

This part of a photography lesson covers the concept that cameras try to make every scene average, leading to underexposure of bright scenes and overexposure of dark scenes. The instructor explains exposure compensation on the iPhone, using the sun icon after tapping to focus. Examples include photographing snow and a black cat. The lesson also begins to introduce histograms.
