Shooting Mode Types

Dynamic Range Double Shot

“Dynamic range” refers to the range of brightnesses (tone levels) that

can be expressed by the camera. Dynamic range double shot creates a

smooth transition from highlights to shadows for natural contrast.

Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With dynamic range double shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with

different exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are

combined together. This mode uses a longer shooting time than other modes,

so be careful of camera shake when taking pictures. The J symbol is always

displayed.

Two consecutive shots Combined and saved

Caution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Dynamic range double shot may not be effective if the shooting location is

overly bright or dark.

• We recommend that you select [Multi] for [Exposure Metering] (GP.69) in the

shooting menu (GP.66) when using dynamic range double shot.

• When shooting a fast-moving subject, the subject may be distorted in the

recorded image.

• Flicker from fluorescent lights may appear as horizontal bands. Fluorescent

lighting may also affect colors and brightness.

Dynamic Range Expansion Effect

The [Dynamic Range Expansion] option

in the shooting menu offers five levels

of dynamic range expansion: [AUTO],

[Very Weak], [Weak], [Medium], and

[Strong]. The stronger the expansion

effect, the wider the range of brightnesses

processed by the camera.
