The camcorder is preset to Auto Exposure
mode, which automatically chooses the optimal
aperture. When there is too much contrast in
brightness between the subject and back-
ground, however, you may not be able to
record a clear image. In this case, use the
manual exposure function to correct the
exposure level.
Background is too bright and subject too
dark (backlit subject).

through the lens.

through the lens.
