much light from entering, and dilates in dim
environments to allow in more light.

When shooting a moving subject.
● When the distance to the subject changes (so
its size in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder
changes), such as when the subject is backing
away.
● When shooting on a reflective natural
background such as at the beach or when
skiing.
● When shooting objects under a spotlight.
● When zooming.
