compensation simultaneously.

2 Set each item with the control dials L/R and the control wheel.
• When shooting with the D-Range optimizer, the image may be noisy. Select the proper level by checking
the recorded image, especially when you enhance the effect.
• When using [Auto HDR], be aware of the followings.
– You cannot start the next shoot until the capture process is completed after you shoot.
– You cannot use this function with [RAW] and [RAW & JPEG] images.
Control dial L
AUTO, Lv1 – Lv5
(D-Range Opt.) Optimizes the gradations of a recorded image in each area of the
image. Select the optimal level between Lv1 (weak) and Lv5
(strong). Automatically adjusted at [AUTO].
AUTO, 1.0 EV – 6.0
EV (Auto HDR) Sets the exposure difference, based on the contrast of the subject.
Select the optimal level between 1.0 EV (weak) and 6.0 EV
(strong). Automatically adjusted at [AUTO].
Control wheel
(Off) Does not use [DRO/Auto HDR].
(D-Range
Opt.)
By dividing the image into small areas, the camera analyzes the
contrast of light and shadow between the subject and the
background, producing the image with the optimal brightness
and gradation (DRO: Dynamic Range Optimizer).
(Auto HDR) Shoots 3 images with different exposures, and then overlays the
bright area of the under exposed image and the dark area of the
over exposed image to create an image with rich gradation. 1
image with proper exposure and 1 overlaid image are recorded
(HDR: High Dynamic Range).
Notes
Set the optimum level.
Set the exposure compensation value (–5.0
EV to +5.0 EV).
Set the mode.
This figure shows the histogram before the D-Range
Optimizer or the Auto HDR was applied, not that of the
image that will actually be shot.
