Shooting Portraits (Shooting Backlit Subjects) By lighting the subject from behind, you can add highlight to the hair. With this method 3 you can take a picture of a sharply outlined subject in sparkling light. If the face of the subject appears dark, use exposure compensation and the flash to take the picture. Position the spot meter mark on the center of the subject's face Viewfinder The camera can be set to adjust automatically for a backlit subject in order to attain the ideal exposure for the shot. For a dark subject, you can use exposure compensation or set the camera in the spot metering mode so you can meter light on the subject's face. You can also adjust the flash control mode.
