The important object in a scene is usually placed in the center of the monitor screen. In the SUPER- D2 mode, more photometric weight is given to the center of the screen (where the important object is located) than to the edge of the screen (where a bright backlight would most likely be located). The SUPER-D2 function eliminates interference by strong background lighting which makes the camera picture dark, such as a spotlight.

1.Move the cursor to ALC and press I(S). The ALC CONT menu appears.

2.Move the cursor to SUPER-D2 and select ON.
