Exposures: A Lecture In Use

Using the exposure settings on my camera {which lacks a Manual Mode}, I was able to tweak how a scene looks. Messing with the settings on a Manual-less camera is usually referred to as the "+/- DEV". The exposure settings are as follows: Normal (0.0); -1.0; 2.0; -2.0; 1.0, respectively. Notice how using negative exposure settings makes the frame darker, and positive settings lighter. Also, the last frame thats almost entirely white is an over-esposed shot. What happened was I was trying to take a picture of a tree using time-lapse for 2 seconds. Too much light hit the sensor and whited out the frame.
