Shadow Adjustment (SHADOW ADJ.) can be selected by pressing the button, located to the left of the monitor. When pressed, SHADOW ADJ is displayed at the bottom of the LCD monitor. The option is set to OFF. Use the right arrow button to select ON. Press the [OK/FUNC] button to enable the Shadow Adjustment Technology (SAT). When SHADOW ADJ. is enabled, the camera processes a captured image so that the shadow areas are brighter, revealing more shadow detail. The option can be used to shoot backlit or three-quarter lit subjects to make them appear with less contrast in strong daylight lighting conditions. Creatively, the option can be used in any lighting situation. In travel photography, users may choose to have the option enabled at all times. As with any creative option, it is best to experiment to test applications of the feature. Shown below are two crops of the same view. In the first shot, Shadow Adjustment was set to OFF. In the second, it was set to ON.
