Backlight, Compensation

Page 25 highlights

Backlight Compensation Portraits with a window, blue sky or other bright background often results in underexposure because the exposure is automatically set for the background. Backlight Compensation makes good use of natural lighting to improve the balance of light between the subject and the rest of the picture. Also use this mode to shoot scenery. Depress the mode button until the ( ® 11) indication appears on the LCD panel. Note: • When using Backlight Compensation in a dimly-lit place, the shutter speed may be so slow that you should use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
