Press the
d button to adjust HDR (high dynamic range) composite settings in HDR for the

• When HDR is set to Off (default setting): The flash fires to
prevent the subject from being hidden in shadow.
- Shoot pictures with the flash raised.
- Press the shutter-release button all the way to shoot a
single picture.
• When HDR is set to On: Use when taking pictures with very
bright and dark areas in the same frame.
- The P icon is displayed on the shooting screen. If
there are very bright areas and very dark areas in the
frame, the o icon lights in green.
- The digital zoom is not available.
- When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way,
the camera shoots pictures continuously with a high
shutter speed, and saves the following two images.
- An image processed by D-Lighting (
A149) at the time of shooting
- HDR composite image (the effects of over-exposure and under-exposure are
reduced)
- The second image saved is an HDR composite image. If only one image can be saved,
an image processed by D-Lighting is the only image saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without
moving it until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, it takes some time to
save the image. Do not turn the camera off before the monitor switches to the shooting
screen.
- The angle of view (image area) seen in the saved image will be narrower than that seen
on the monitor at the time of shooting.
• The camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
