Backlit Button
For those who may be interested and have it on their videocams..
I was looking at some vildeo on YOU TUBE and noticed that at times - in snow, and facing into a bright lightarea , the exposure was much darker than it should be (no doubt done on ALL AUTOMATIC setting.
I took my videocam and played around with it near a very bright light. What I found was - by using the BACK LIGHT switch, I could compensate for some of the darkness when facing into the light My light has a dilmmer switch, so I could compensate at different levels - depeding on the brilghtness of the light. Cam was on ALL AUTOMATIC Setting.
Also, I could use the MANUAL EXPOSURE button and wheel for exposure correction if desired. For trains and motion subjects, I feel just keeping my finger beside the BACKLIGHT BUTTON (for just the brightest area) would serve the purpose.
Best Wishes
