Still Images

Shooting High-Contrast Scenes (High Dynamic Range)

Three consecutive images are captured at different brightness levels each time you shoot, and the camera combines image areas with optimal brightness to create a single image. This mode can reduce the washed-out highlights and loss of detail in shadows that tends to occur in high-contrast shots.

1Choose [].

zzFollow steps 1 – 2 in “Image Effects (Creative Filters)” (=54) and choose [].

2Shoot.

zzHold the camera steady as you shoot. When you press the shutter button all the way down, the camera will take three shots and combine them.

Excessive camera shake or certain shooting conditions may prevent you from obtaining the desired results.

If excessive camera shake interferes with shooting, mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still. Additionally, you should set [IS Mode] to [Off] when using a tripod or other means to secure the camera (=89).

Any subject movement will cause images to look blurry.

There will be a delay before you can shoot again, as the camera processes and combines the images.
