oBacklighting

•From the screen displayed after oBacklighting is selected, HDR (high dynamic range) composition can be set.

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

•Level 1-Level 3: Use when taking images with very bright and dark areas in the same frame. Select Level 1 when there is less difference between bright and dark areas, and Level 3 when there is more difference between bright and dark areas.

B Notes About HDR

•Use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A99) 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 in the monitor at the time of shooting.

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

-A non-HDR composite image

-An HDR composite image in which the loss of details in highlights or shadows is minimized

•If there is only enough memory to save one image, an image processed by D- Lighting (A88) at the time of shooting, in which dark areas of the image are corrected, is the only image saved.

•Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still image is displayed. After taking an image, 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. You can compensate by lowering the level setting.
