Advanced operations
When you shoot a subject with the light source behind the subject or a subject with a
light background, use the BACK LIGHT function.
Press BACK LIGHT. The c indicator appears in the viewfinder.
Shooting with backlighting
[a] Subject is too dark because of backlight.
[b] Subject becomes bright with backlight compensation.
After shooting
Be sure to release this adjustment condition by pressing BACK LIGHT again. The c
indicator disappears. Otherwise, the picture will be too bright under normal lighting
condition.
This function is also effective under following conditions:
• On snow e.g. at the ski resort
• At the beach under strong sunshine
• A subject with a light source nearby or a mirror reflecting light
• A white subject against a white background.
Especially when you shoot a person wearing shiny clothes made of silk or synthetic
fiber, his or her face tends to become dark if you do not use this function.
