Correcting for Back Lighting

Back lighting correction compensates for the overexposure that can occur when shooting a backlit subject. Press Æ (Back Lighting Correction button) to toggle back lighting correction on and off.

•When a main subject is overexposed due to backlighting, the camera uses EV shift exposure correction and dynamic range correction to adjust appropriately.

•This function is disabled in the M (Manual Exposure) mode.
