About Backlight Compensation
Backlight compensation is automatically activated in [Intelligent Auto] mode. Backlight
is a condition where a light shines from behind a subject. When there is a backlight,
the subject appears darker and the camera will automatically attempt to correct it by
increasing the brightness of the picture. When the camera detects backlight, is
displayed on the LCD monitor (depending on the backlighting conditions, backlighting
may not be detected correctly).
