WIDE-RANGE SHOT

With this feature, when the shutter release button is pressed, two consecutive shots are taken at different exposure settings, and they are then automatically assimilated into one image. This produces an image with the smooth tone characteristics of the light areas and low-noise characteristics of the dark areas.

NOTE

About the wide-range shot

œWhen wide-range shot on is selected, the exposure control setting is automatically set to Ï, the flash operation mode to j, the digital zoom setting to off, and the quick shot setting to ä. In addition, when the wide-range shot on setting is canceled, these modes are all restored to their previous settings.

œIf the subject is too light or too dark, the wide-range shot may not be effective.

œBecause of the long exposure time compared to normal photography, care should be taken to keep the camera steady when shooting (see page 58).

œIf you shoot a wide-shot photos in which the smear phenomenon or flare phenomenon, etc. appears, or when there is fog, the result may be an unnatural photo due to a visible unevenness in the image.
