w: HDR (High Dynamic Range) ShootingN

Highlight detail and shadow detail are retained for a high dynamic range of tones even with high-contrast scenes. HDR shooting is effective for landscape and still-life shots.

With HDR shooting, three images of different exposures (standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure) are captured for each shot and then merged together automatically. The HDR image is recorded as a JPEG image.

* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

Under the [z4] tab, select [HDR Mode], then press <0>.

Select the desired dynamic range setting, then press <0>. Selecting [Auto] will have the dynamic range set automatically depending on the image’s overall tonal range.

The higher the number, the wider the dynamic range will be.
