Use Exposure compensation/Backlight correction settings when the
difference in brightness between the subject and the background
subject is not well balanced. Also use this feature when the subject
occupies only a small part of the picture composition and the
contrast between the subject and the rest of the picture varies
significantly.
Use Positive compensation (0 to +2.0) when taking pictures of:
■ High contrast printed text, for example, black text on white
paper.
■ Subjects with a strong backlight, for example, people on the
beach with the sun behind them.
■ Very bright scenes, for example, a snow field with people in
the picture.
Use Negative compensation (0 to -2.0) when taking pictures of:
■ High contrast printed text, for example, white text on black
paper.
■ Subjects illuminated by a bright light, for example, an actress
under a spotlight against a dark background.
■ Weak light reflecting subjects, for example, an evergreen tree
forest.
Use Backlight correction compensation (+1.3 fixed) when taking
pictures of:
■ Subjects with a strong backlight, for example, people on the
beach with the sun behind them.
