functions has been assigned, and then turn OFF

the USER button function, the effect added to the
image will not be retained.
Backlight compensation
Press the USER button you have allocated to the
BACKLIGHT feature when shooting subjects lit

Press the same USER button to turn the feature

retained at the corresponding point even when
backlight compensation is canceled.)
The backlight compensation function does not •

functioning.

Press the BARS button in the CAM mode to output
a color bar screen to a television or monitor so you

or the AUDIO OUT terminal. There will be no
speaker output.
The color bar can be recorded by pressing the •
START/STOP button.
The color bar display is canceled when the power •
