2. Light Control Setting (ALC)

2-1. ALC Mode with SUPER-D2 ON

Super Dynamic2 Function (SUPER-D2)

The important object in a scene is usually placed in the center of the monitor screen. In the SUPER-
D2 mode, more photometric weight is given to the center of the screen (where the important object
is located) than to the edge of the screen (where a bright backlight would most likely be located).
The SUPER-D2 function eliminates interference by strong background lighting which makes the
camera picture dark, such as a spotlight.
