Tips

••Stand at least 5 m (16 feet) away.

●●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.

[HDR]

The camera can combine several still pictures taken with 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.
