nBlack and white copy

•When shooting nearby object, shoot with macro mode (A53).

oBacklighting

•On the screen that appears when oBacklighting is selected, HDR (high dynamic range) composition can be set.

•Off (default setting): The flash fires to prevent the backlit subject from being hidden in shadow.

•On: Use when taking pictures with very bright and dark areas in the same frame.

•The camera focuses at the center area of the frame.

BNotes on HDR

•Use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A94) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.

•The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.

•When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots pictures continuously and saves the following two images.

-An image processed by D-Lighting (A69) at the time of shooting (image compensated to make a dark area brighter)

-HDR composite image (loss of detail is reduced in highlights and shadows)

-If there is only enough memory to save one image, one image processed by D-Lighting is the only image saved.

•Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without moving it until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.

•Depending on the shooting conditions, dark shadows may appear around bright subjects and bright areas may appear around dark subjects.
