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.
This mode Is also effective in extremely bright
situations, for example on a beach in summer or on a
ski slope, as it prevents dark faces and keeps the snow
white.
When recording a backlit scene, keep
the [BACKLIGHT] 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
eThe 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.
