much light from entering, and dilates in dim
environments to allow in more light.

size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder
changes), such as when the subject is backing
away.
● When shooting on a reflective natural background
such as at the beach or when skiing.
● When shooting objects under a spotlight.
● When zooming.

The white balance refers to the correctness of

manually to achieve a more professional colour/
tint reproduction.
