shooting result. Since the blurring of a subject changes if the aperture is changed, the
blurriness of the actual picture will differ from the image you were viewing prior to shooting.
While pressing down the key to which [Shot. Result Preview] is assigned, you can check the
image preview with the DRO, shutter speed, aperture and ISO sensitivity settings applied.
Check the shooting result preview before shooting.

The DRO settings, shutter speed, aperture and ISO sensitivity settings you have set are
