In exposure, when too much lighting strikes the film for a proper rendition of the scene Minor overexposure may cause a loss of details or texture in the scene highlights; severe overexposure will cause a serious deterioration of picture quality in color and black and white print film, and a complete loss of picture information with slide films
The result of giving a light-sensitive material excessive exposure, either by exposing it to too bright an image or by allowing light to act upon it for too long
Intentionally, or unintentionally allowing too much light to strike the film, causing a scene to look lighter, brighter, and more washed out than it would at a correct exposure
Overexposure occurs when a photograph receives too much light It results in a loss of resolution (very fine detail), more graininess and less detail in highlight areas An overexposed negative is very dense resulting in light prints A slide has very light density
