About Backlight Compensation
Backlight is a condition where a light shines from behind a subject. When there is
a backlight, a subject appears darker and the camera automatically corrects the
exposure by increasing the brightness of an entire image. Backlight compensation is
automatically activated in [Intelligent Auto] mode. When the camera detects backlight,
is displayed on the LCD monitor. The displayed icon ( ) may not correspond to the
actual backlight condition in some cases.
About the Happy color setting
When [Color Mode] (→88) is set to [Happy], pictures are recorded with vivid coloring.
[Motion Deblur]
The camera automatically sets the optimum shutter speed in accordance with the
movements of the subject to minimize the blur of the subject.
