Snapshot Tutorial
Back lighting correction compensates for the overexposure
that can occur when shooting a backlit subject. Press
Æ
(Back Lighting Correction button) to toggle back lighting
correction on and off.
• When a main subject is overexposed due to backlighting,
the camera uses EV shift exposure correction and dynamic
range correction to adjust appropriately.
• This function is disabled in the M (Manual Exposure) mode.
Pressing [AE-L/AF-L] temporarily locks the current exposure
and/or focus settings. Press [AE-L/AF-L] again to unlock the
settings.
• Pressing [AE-L/AF-L] while the shutter button is half-
pressed will lock the current exposure or focus setting.
