Recording

[Handheld Night Shot]

This mode allows you to record multiple pictures of night scenes at high speed, which are all combined to make a single picture. It will reduce the jitter and noise from the picture even when recording with the camera in your hand.

Note

Do not move the camera while recording pictures continuously.

Noise may become visible when you take pictures in dark places or take pictures of moving subjects.

[HDR]

You can combine several pictures with different levels of exposure into a single picture with rich gradation. You can minimize the loss of gradations in bright areas and dark areas when, for example, the contrast between the background and the subject is large.

What Is HDR?

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and refers to a technique for expressing a wide contrast range.

Note

Do not move the camera during the continuous shooting after pressing the shutter button.

You cannot take the next picture until the combination of pictures is complete.

A moving subject may be recorded with unnatural blurs.

The continuous shooting may not work under certain recording conditions. In that case, a single picture is recorded.

[Food]

This mode allows you to take pictures of food with a natural hue without being affected by the ambient light in restaurants etc.
