Frame the subject and take a picture.
• The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame. The position of the area
cannot be moved.
• If [ On ] is set:
- When there is a big difference between the bright and dark areas, the HDR icon
on the shooting screen changes to green.
- When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots images
continuously and saves the following two images.
- A non-HDR composite image
- An HDR composite image in which the loss of details in highlights or shadows is
minimized
• If [ Off ] is set:
One image is captured when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way.
Notes about HDR
• The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower
than that seen on the shooting screen.
• After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the screen switches to the
shooting screen.
• Use of a tripod is recommended ( Using a tripod (page 51)). When using a tripod to
stabilize the camera during shooting, select the setup menu [
Vibration reduction ]
[ Off ].
• During hand-held shooting, after pressing the shutter-release button all the way, hold the
camera steadily so that it does not shake until the still image is displayed.
• Under some shooting conditions, dark shadows may appear around bright subjects or
bright areas may appear around dark subjects.
• If there is only enough memory to save one image, an image processed by D-Lighting at
the time of shooting, in which dark areas of the image are corrected, is the only image
saved.
