Sony DSR-PD100A User Manual

When you shoot a subject with the light source behind the subject or a subject with a light
background, use the BACK LIGHT function.

Press BACK LIGHT. The c indicator appears on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder.

[a] Subject is too dark because of backlight.
[b]Subject becomes bright with backlight compensation.

After shooting

Be sure to release this adjustment condition by pressing BACK LIGHT again. The c
indicator disappears. Otherwise, the picture will be too bright under normal lighting
condition.

This function is also effective under the following conditions:
•A subject with a light source nearby or a mirror reflecting light.
•A white subject against a white background. Especially when you shoot a person wearing

shiny clothes made of silk or synthetic fiber, his or her face tends to become dark if you do
not use this function.

Note on the BACK LIGHT function
When you press EXPOSURE or SHUTTER SPEED, the BACK LIGHT function is canceled.
