Three high-quality still image shooting modes

1. 6M Pro-Still (Pixel Shift Mode) (☞ pg. 46)

This mode collects twice as much image data by using two exposures (with the CCD shifted one pixel for the second exposure), resulting in an image consisting of 6 million pixels, or twice as many in normal mode.

2. DR Pro-Still (Wide Range Mode) (☞ pg. 47)

This mode uses two exposures, one with the exposure adjusted for the dark portions of the image, and one with the exposure adjusted for the bright portions of the image. By using the image data from both exposures, it is possible to achieve a wide dynamic range that was previously impossible. This mode avoids pictures where part of the image is blacked out or whited out, which occurs easily with conventional digital cameras.

3. NR Pro-Still (Noise Reduction Mode) (☞ pg. 48)

This mode uses several exposures to collect a large amount of image information, then extracts the signal components and eliminates the noise components. This mode eliminates electronic noise, which occurs easily with conventional digital cameras.
