Panasonic NV-VS3A - Backlight Mode

Recording Backlit Scenes
(Backlight Mode)
As a general rule, subjects should be lit from the front by
sunlight or strong artificial light. However, if recording a backlit
subject cannot be avoided, the Backlight Mode lets you
brighten up the subject a little to prevent very dark faces, etc.
1 When recording a backlit scene, keep the [BLC]
Button pressed from before you press the
Recording Start/Stop Button to start recording
until after you press it again to stop recording.
@ When Using the Backlight Recording Function
The sky may appear whitish.
@When recording with the sun striking the subject at an angle,
star-shaped light reflections may be recorded in the picture.
®When recording a subject in front of a very bright
background, the subject may still appear dark in the picture. ||
*In some cases, the subject may look clear, but the
background may be overexposed (almost completely white).
However, this is normal and not a malfunction.
