Combining still pictures with different exposures ([HDR])

Recording mode:

The camera can combine 3 still pictures taken at different exposures into a single properly exposed picture with rich gradation. The individual pictures used to create the HDR picture are not saved. 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.

A combined HDR picture is saved in JPEG format.

[ON]	Creates a combined HDR picture.

	[Dynamic	[AUTO]: Takes pictures after automatically setting the adjustment range

■■What is HDR?

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

●●After the shutter button has been pressed, do not move the camera during the burst operation. ●●Since a burst of still pictures are combined after they have been recorded, it will be a few

moments before you will be able to record another picture.

●●A subject that was in motion when it was recorded may be recorded as an afterimage. ●●When [Auto Align] is set to [ON], the angle of view narrows slightly.

●●When you take pictures using a flash, the flash mode is fixed to [  ] (Forced Flash Off).

Not available in the following cases:

●●This function will not work for still pictures while motion pictures are being recorded. ●●[HDR] cannot be used in the following cases:

••When the [Quality] setting is set to [  ], [  ] or [  ]
