Iris Lock

Like the pupil of the human eye, the iris contracts in well-lit environments to keep too much light from entering, and dilates in dim environments to allow in more light.

Use this function in the following situations:

When shooting a moving subject.

When the distance to the subject changes (so its size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder changes), such as when the subject is backing away.

When shooting on a reflective natural background such as at the beach or when skiing.

When shooting objects under a spotlight.

When zooming.

When the subject is close, keep the iris locked. Even when the subject moves away from you, the image will not darken or brighten.

1Perform steps 1 to 3 of “Exposure Control”. The exposure control indicator appears.

Backlight Compensation

Backlight compensation brightens the subject quickly.

Press BACK LIGHT. The indicator is displayed and the subject is brightened. If pressed again, disappears and the brightness returns to the previous level.

Using the BACK LIGHT Button may cause the light around the subject to become too bright and the subject to become white.

Backlight compensations is also available when the Power Switch is set to “A”.

2Adjust zoom so that the subject fills the LCD monitor or the viewfinder, then press and hold the EXPOSURE Wheel for over 2 seconds. The exposure control indicator and the “” indication appear.
