2. ELC setting [ELC]
Setting ELC (electronic light control) to ON provides auto- matic adjustment of the screen brightness. The conver- gence level of ELC can be specified at “BRIGHTNESS” in the SEL menu (☞ page 25).
If a photographic subject has a bright light such as a spot- light in its backgroud, the subject may appear shadowy. To eliminate this phenomenon, mask the bright area in the background to perform correction.
