the subject.
In the factory settings, the following functions are
assigned to each of the buttons.
<USER1>: [BACKLIGHT]
<USER2>: [D.ZOOM]
<USER3>: [SHOT MARK]
For details, see the [USER1] - [USER3] items on
the setup menu [SW MODE] screen (Page 83).
If you press a USER button to which one of the
functions has been assigned, and then turn OFF
the power or change the mode during operation
of the USER button function, it will return to the
previous state.

When shooting subjects in backlight, press the
USER button to which the [BACKLIGHT] function
has been assigned.
[BACKLIGHT] will be displayed on the screen.
Auto iris control for backlight compensation will
prevent the image of the subject from becoming
dark.
Press the USER button again to release backlight
compensation. (In the manual iris mode, the iris
status is retained at the corresponding point even
when backlight compensation is canceled.)
