Automatic Brightness Control
The automatic brightness control is also another feature in the
Backlight application. This feature automatically adjusts the
backlight setting on your Pocket PC to accommodate your
surroundings.
For example, if you are in dimly lit area (such as a movie theater,
concert hall, etc.) the Pocket PC automatically adjusts the
backlight accordingly. However, if you are outside or in a well-lit
area, this feature automatically dims the backlight, saving power.
