much light from entering, and dilates in dim
environments to allow in more light.

● 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.

background such as at the beach or when
skiing.
● When shooting objects under a spotlight.
● When zooming.
