Shooting techniques for different targets (continued)
Backlight compensation
Press the USER button you have allocated to the
BACKLIGHT feature when shooting subjects lit
from the back.
BACK LIGHT appears on the screen, and
appears at the bottom right of the screen.
Backlight compensation adjusts the iris so the
subject doesn’t come out dark.
Press the same USER button to turn the feature
off. (If you perform backlight compensation in
manual iris mode and it is disabled, the camera
switches to auto iris control.)
Color bars
Press the BARS button in the CAMERA mode to
output a color bar screen to a television or monitor
so you can adjust them. Press the button again to
turn the feature off.
While the color bar is displayed, a test tone
of 997 Hz will be output from the headphone
terminal, the A/V OUT terminal, or the HDMI
terminal. There will be no speaker output.
The color bar can be recorded by pressing the
START/STOP button.
The BARS button does not work in the PB mode
or PHOTO mode.
The color bar display is canceled when the power
is turned off.
Wave form monitor function
During CAMERA mode, you can display a
waveform for an image on the LCD monitor by
pressing the USER button to which the WFM
function has been assigned.
Press the button again to return to the normal
display.
Wave forms will not be displayed in the
viewfinder.
This function cannot be used while the focus
assist and touch auto focus functions are
enabled.
Wave forms cannot be recorded.
While wave forms are displayed, use the
viewfinder as well since part of the recording
screen will be hidden by the wave forms.
