The easy way to brighten up a picture while taking it is to change the "EV" (exposure value) setting. You will need to check your manual for how to do that on your camera. To make the picture lighter dial in a +EV value. (-EV will darken the picture). If you change other things like speed, f-stop, or ISO the camera's automatic exposure system will adjust and your pictures will remain dark. The EV setting overrides the automatic exposure system.

Be sure to set it back to 0 when done taking your pictures. Because EV is part of the exposure system, it does not reset when you turn off the camera. It will affect every picture you take after you change/set EV.
