Pentax Espio - Backlight Compensation

Backlight Compensation
Portraits with a
window, blue
sky or other
bright back¬
ground often
results in
underexposure because the exposure is auto¬
matically set for the background. Backlight
Compensation makes good use of natural
lighting to improve the balance of light be¬
tween the subject and the rest of the picture.
Also use this mode to shoot scenery.
Depress the mode button until the (® E!) in¬
dication appears on the LCD panel.
Note:
• VVhen using Backlight Compensation in a
dimly-lit place, the shutter speed may be so
slow that you should use a tripod to pre¬
vent camera shake.
