About Backlight Compensation ( )
Backlight is a condition where a light shines from behind a subject. When there is
a backlight, the subject appears darker and the camera will automatically attempt
to correct it by increasing the brightness of the picture. Backlight compensation is
automatically activated in [Intelligent Auto] Mode. When the camera detects backlight,
is displayed on the LCD monitor (depending on the backlighting conditions,
backlighting may not be detected correctly).
