You cannot use the manual exposure control at
the same time when “PROGRAM AE” is set to
“SPOTLIGHT” or “SNOW” (
墌
pg. 32), or with the
backlight compensation.
Like the pupil of the human eye, the iris
contracts in well-lit environments to keep too
much light from entering, and dilates in dim
environments to allow in more light.
Use this function in the following situations:
●
When shooting a moving subject.
●
When the distance to the subject changes (so its
size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder
changes), such as when the subject is backing
away.
●
When shooting on a reflective natural background
such as at the beach or when skiing.
●
When shooting objects under a spotlight.
●
When zooming.
