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 screen (depending on the backlighting conditions, backlighting may
not be detected correctly).
