AUTO KNEE function

When shooting a foreground subject, such as a human being, etc., with a high- brightness background, if the brightness level is set for the foreground subject, the background image will be blurred with white. In such a case, a clearer background is obtained when the auto knee function is used.

This function is effective especially in the following cases:

●When shooting a human being indoors with a view to the landscape out through a window.

●When shooting a human being in the shade on a fine day.

●When shooting a high-contrast scene.

*If a fast-moving high-brightness section like a car in sunlight is shot, the auto knee function may change the brightness of the entire image along with the motion of the object. In this case, set the auto knee function to OFF.
