oBacklighting

Use when light is coming from behind the subject, throwing features or details into shadow.

Press the dbutton to adjust HDR (high dynamic range) composite settings in HDR for the shooting scene.

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

-Shoot pictures with the flash raised.

-Press the shutter-release button all the way to shoot a single picture.

•When HDR is set to Level 1 to Level 3: Use when taking pictures with very bright and dark areas in the same frame. Level 1 is suitable when the contrast is low, and Level 3 is suitable when the contrast is high.

-The Picon is displayed on the shooting screen.

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

-An image without HDR composition

-HDR composite image (the effects of over-exposure and under-exposure are reduced)

-The second image saved is an HDR composite image. If only one image can be saved,

the camera enhances brightness and contrast in dark portions of the image with D- Lighting (A111) when shooting, and saves a single image.

-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, it takes some time to save the image. Do not turn the camera off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.

-The angle of view (image area) seen in the saved image will be narrower than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.

-Depending on the scene, dark shadows may appear around a bright subject or the area around a dark subject may appear bright. Set the level low to adjust.

•The camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
