About Backlight Compensation  
Backlight is a condition where a light shines from behind a subject. When there is a 
backlight, a subject appears darker and the camera automatically corrects the exposure 
by increasing the brightness of an entire image. When the camera detects backlight,   
is displayed on the LCD monitor.
