Backlight Compensation - Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Operating Instructions Manual

Optimum settings are made automatically from information such as 'face', 'movement',
'brightness', and 'distance' just by pointing the camera at the subject, meaning that clear
pictures can be taken without the need to make settings manually.

According to the following conditions, different scene types may be determined for the same subject.
• Face contrast, conditions of subject (size, distance, coloring, movement), zoom ratio, sunset,
sunrise, low brightness, jitter
If desired scene type is not selected,
we recommend manually selecting the
appropriate recording mode.

When jitter is small (e.g. using tripod) with 'i

a maximum of 8 seconds. Do not move the camera.
