For Backlighting
When the background is particularly bright, the subject will
be dark (under-exposure).
When your subject is whitish
When you photograph a subject that is mainly white, it will
turn out entirely dark, with people appearing dark, and
white objects appearing grayish.
When your subject is darkish
When you photograph a subject that is mainly dark, it will
turn out entirely bright (over-exposure), with people
appearing white, and black objects appearing grayish. The
same happens when you take photos of people in a spot-
light.
Changing the Exposure (EXPOSURE COMP.)
The exposure setting allows you to select brightness levels for your shots.
Normally, if your subject is centered, backlight compensation is automatically activated, and you can
shoot with correct exposure. However, in the following cases, or when you intentionally want to change
the exposure, you can change the exposure setting. Exposure can be specified in the range of -2.0 and
+2.0.
