Recording
Applicable modes:
You can combine 3 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.
An image combined by HDR is recorded in JPEG.
