Note
• Due to conditions such as the ones below, a different scene may be identied for the
same subject.
–Subject conditions: When the face is bright or dark, the size of the subject, the color of
the subject, the distance to the subject, the contrast of the subject, when the subject is
moving
–Recording conditions: Sunset, sunrise, under low brightness conditions, when the
camera is shaken, when zoom is used
• For the best results, it is recommended that you take pictures in the appropriate
Recording Mode.
• The Backlight Compensation
Backlight refers to when light comes from the back of a subject.
In this case, the subject will become dark, so this function compensates the backlight by
brightening the entire picture automatically.
