Shooting With Backlighting - Sony CCD-TR78 Operation Manual (primary manual) Operation Manual

Shooting with Backlighting

When you shoot a subject with the light source behind the subject or a subject with a light
background, use the BACK LIGHT.
Press BACK LIGHT. The c indicator appears inside the viewfinder.
[a] Subject is too dark because of backlight.
[b] Subject becomes bright with backlight compensation.
After Shooting
Press BACK LIGHT again to let the c indicator go out under normal lighting condition. Otherwise,
the picture will be too bright under normal lighting condition.
This function is also effective under following conditions:
• On the snow e.g. at the ski resort
• At the beach under strong sunshine
• 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.
