What am I doing wrong (snow)?

[GlasgowTitan]

I took some pictures of the snow this morning, they seemed fine on my camera, but on the pc they look really dark, is this over or under exposed or something? I have a Samsung A50 camera so its not exactly professional, but what setting should I fiddle with to get it brighter?





I had the camera up against the window, so I was shooting through the window, would that make any difference?

Cheers, I know I'm a camera n00b.

edit* Ignore the small image size, I havent bought a memory card for it yet so I can only manage 2 of the high res pics.

The trick with shooting in snow is to set the exposure compensation to +1 maybe even +2 stops. I don't know if that's possible with your camera though. The other option is to do what cyKey said and auto adjust the levels.

The reason is that all the white snow fools the camera into thinking it's a really bright scene so to get the overall brightness down to the average (is it 18% gray?) it underexposes.

Thanks, I've been fiddling and I found the setting and turned it up to +2.
