w: HDR (High Dynamic Range) ShootingN
If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave afterimages or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark. To prevent camera shake, the ISO speed may be set higher than usual. HDR shooting is not possible with ISO expansion. (HDR shooting is possible within the range of ISO 100 - ISO 12800.)
When shooting HDR images with [Auto Image Align] set to [Enable], AF point display information (p.294) and Dust Delete Data (p.341) will not be appended to the image.
If [Auto Image Align] is set to [Enable] and the HDR picture is shot handheld, the edges of the photos will be cropped, lowering the resolution slightly. Also, if the images cannot be aligned properly due to camera shake, etc., auto image alignment may not take effect. Note that when shooting with excessively bright or dark exposure settings, auto image alignment may not work properly.
If you perform handheld HDR shooting while [Auto Image Align] is set to [Disable], the 3 images may not be properly aligned and the HDR effect may be minimal. In such a case, using a tripod is recommended. Auto image alignment may not work properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat,
The color gradation of the sky or white walls may not be reproduced correctly. Irregular colors or noise may appear.
HDR shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in unnatural color reproduction of the illuminated areas.
Since HDR shooting merges the images, it will take a longer time to record the HDR image to the card than with normal shooting. During the processing of the images, “buSY” will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed.
In HDR mode, the options grayed out in the camera menu cannot be set. Note that when you set HDR mode, the Auto Lighting Optimizer, highlight tone priority, and exposure simulation will be set to [Disable] before shooting.
