fire. While the shots are combined, a message will be displayed and

 

the shutter release will be disabled. The final photograph will be

DFraming HDR Photographs

The edges of the image will be cropped out. The desired results may not be achieved if the camera or subject moves during shooting. Depending on the scene, shading may be uneven and shadows may appear around bright objects or halos around dark objects. If the cam- era is unable to successfully combine the two images, a single image will be recorded at normal exposure and Active D-Lighting (0 127) will be applied.
