•
Turn on the ash. (p. 67)
•
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 69)
•

Subjects come out
too dark because of
backlighting.
When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between light and dark areas, the subject may
appear t
oo dark.
•
Avoid shooting toward the sun.
•
Set the ash option to Fill in. (p. 67)
•
Adjust the exposure. (p. 78)
•
Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 79)
