brightness vs. backlight intensity

Hi,

Page 3 of the GPSMAP 66i manual: 

Adjusting the Backlight


1  Select Power Button to open the status page.
2  Use + and - to adjust the brightness.
        TIP: You can select NV to reduce the backlight intensity for compatibility with night vision goggles.

Do "brightness" and "backlight intensity" mean the same thing?
