Backlight refers to the light that shines from behind the subject. When this occurs, the
subject appears darker, and so backlighting is automatically corrected by increasing the
brightness of the entire image.
To use flash
Select either (Auto) or (forced flash off).
When using , (AUTO), (Auto/red-eye reduction)
and (Slow sync./red-eye reduction) will be switched

reduction.

According to the following conditions, different scene types may be determined for the
same subject.
Face contrast, conditions of subject (size, distance, colouring, movement), zoom ratio,
sunset, sunrise, low brightness, jitter
If desired scene type is not selected,
we recommend manually selecting the
appropriate recording mode.
(scene mode: P.51)
We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer with ‘i NIGHT SCENERY’ and
‘i NIGHT PORTRAIT’.
When jitter is small (e.g. using tripod)
with ‘i NIGHT SCENERY’, shutter speed can reach a maximum of 8 seconds. Do not
move the camera.
