Has anyone had issues with strong backlighted conditions?

the sun for me is sometimes directly behind the porch. it does interfere with the view but so few people come to my door that i can't really say whether it's a problem. i am certain i will still be able to make out that someone is there. anyway this is not an hd camera. you can see vague outlines of a person but the quality of the picture is such that if you had a video tape of a person and turned it in to police they might have to find someone who knows the person to recognize them and track them down. the benefit to you is that without betraying the fact that you are there you are able to see outside. if you want a high quality video you will need a different solution. the sun for me is sometimes directly behind the porch. it does interfere with the view but so few people come to my door that i can't really say whether it's a problem. i am certain i will still be able to make out that someone is there. anyway this is not an hd camera. you can see vague outlines of a person but the quality of the picture is such that if you had a video tape of a person and turned it in to police they might have to find someone who knows the person to recognize them and track them down. the benefit to you is that without betraying the fact that you are there you are able to... » Read More the sun for me is sometimes directly behind the porch. it does interfere with the view but so few people come to my door that i can't really say whether it's a problem. i am certain i will still be able to make out that someone is there. anyway this is not an hd camera. you can see vague outlines of a person but the quality of the picture is such that if you had a video tape of a person and turned it in to police they might have to find someone who knows the person to recognize them and track them down. the benefit to you is that without betraying the fact that you are there you are able to see outside. if you want a high quality video you will need a different solution. « Show Less

Not me, but if there is glass in front of it (like a storm door) it is useless at night due to the reflected glare of the infrared. I covered the infrared led's.

Front light from above doorway either with electric or battery operated outdoor light. This will illuminate facial features. Mine faces down an outdoor hallway enterance with natural sunlight from behind causing the same back light effect you refer to.

No I don't, I have had similar problems as well as issues with the polish rolling away from the edges before I can get the nails under the light. I purchased both sets but I don't use them any more...sorry

I do not understand what you mean by "issues" with backlit scenarios.My experience is that in "smart" camera mode the camera determine wither it needs the flash or no. I suppose that is why they call it "smart" camera. Would really like to discuss this some more though. richardrbt.

I believe what you are referring to is local dimming. Parts on the screen that have content are lit up and parts without content are dimmed down or even turned off. I've noticed that when turning on the TV the bottom left corner is brighter than others which may appear like bleeding but I'm guessing it's related to local dimming. I wouldn't worry about it. I watched dark movie scenes and I don't notice it, the picture is perfect.

I'm having a similar problem. I've noticed it most in low light, when the subject moves. I don't think I've experienced it much outdoors in bright light. I've not taken the time to research it yet. I'd say I've been somewhat disappointed in the camera.

I always use the flash, even in daylight. I don't have trouble with backlighting. I have used most of the "mode" settings.

I have never had that problem. Best advice i can give is shade the device with your hand to eliminate light to it. Should be very easy to read then. Good luck.

yea i noticed that in the onset, Sometime even when i changed the brightness manually it would stay the same. I restarted my machine and some pending updates were installed i don't kno if that fixed it but it has not happened since.

Yeap. Keyboard backlight fully defeatable. I was a little concerned that the green accents would look silly in person but IMHO looks way better in real life than the pictures.

I gave the unit away as a gift, but I believe it was backlit. I tried it before I gave it away. The person I gave it to loves it,by the way.

All of the keys are *supposed* to be backlit. However, because of the way the backlighting in the remote is designed, some keys may be permanently dimmer than others, and there's not much that can be done about that.

There is a back lighting option that you can enable or disable with a keyboard shortcut. When it's enabled, the lighting is quite bright and effective -- I found it to work really well for using the laptop in the dark.

Good question. It's been a while, but my memory is that the keys were easily operable in a dark room. I don't recall ever trying to turn on key backlighting over the weekend I had the unit, but that it may have been automatic. Had there been a problem with keying in a dark room I think I'd recall that.

if your screen does not show anything at all, then that is not a problem with your backlight. It may be an issue with your motherboard. Water damage does not usually affect the screen.
