[a] Subject is too dark because of backlight.

[b] Subject becomes bright with backlight compensation.

After shooting

Be sure to release this adjustment condition by pressing BACK LIGHT again. The c indicator disappears. Otherwise, the picture will be too bright under normal lighting condition.

This function is also effective under the following conditions: •A subject with a light source nearby or a mirror reflecting light

•A white subject against a white background. Especially when you shoot a person wearing shiny clothes made of silk or synthetic fiber, his or her face tends to become dark if you do not use this function.

To make a fine adjustment

You can adjust the exposure manually. However, when you adjust the exposure manually, BACK LIGHT does not operate.
