Shooting With Backlighting - Sony Handycam CCD-TR2300 Operating Instructions 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 function.
Press BACK LIGHT. The c indicator appears 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
conditions.
This function is also effective under following conditions:
• On snow, e.g. at a 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.
Note on the backlight function
If you press IRIS, SHUTTERSPEED or GAIN, the backlight function is cancelled.
