How to Use the Spotlight Mode on a Canon XH A1

Video Transcript

So the next mode that I am going to talk about is kind of like a specialized mode called spotlight mode. And it is represented kind of like a little triangle with a little man in it. It's actually, that's supposed to be like a spotlight and what this mode is good for is, is say you're at, I don't know, like a children's play or something and the person up on the stage is just lit by a spotlight. So this mode will manually adjust the exposure to get the, you know the best, you know, picture it can based on that spotlight. And I think what it's doing is it's looking at that spotlight and realizing that's what's important and it's not over-exposing, trying to get the blacks back up, it realizes that there is one area of light and that's what?s important and it adjusts exposure for that. So that's maybe something to consider and I guess that's pretty much the only thing that it is good for is something like a play or something where literally you're actually, somebody is lit by a spotlight and then there is dark areas around them. So maybe consider using that, I've never actually used it myself, because I've never been in that situation but you might be so check out that, it's called the spotlight mode.
