Shooting Portraits (Shooting Backlit
Subjects)
By lighting the subject from behind, you can add highlight to the hair. With this method
you can take a picture of a sharply outlined subject in sparkling light. If the face of the
subject appears dark, use exposure compensation and the flash to take the picture.
Position the spot meter mark on
the center of the subject's face
Viewfinder
The camera can be set to adjust automatically for a
backlit subject in order to attain the ideal exposure for
the shot. For a dark subject, you can use exposure
compensation or set the camera in the spot metering
mode so you can meter light on the subject's face.
You can also adjust the flash control mode.

prevent the occurrence of the flare or ghost effect in your
pictures.
