HDR Backlight Control Mode
Use [ ] ( HDR Backlight Control) mode for backlit scenes with both bright and dark
areas. Shooting once in this mode captures three consecutive images at different
exposures, which are combined to create a single HDR image that retains detail in shadows
that might otherwise be lost from backlighting.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
Shooting tips
Hold the camera steady.
Keep your elbows close to your body to hold the camera steady ( ). In this mode, three
shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if there is significant
misalignment in any of the three shots due to camera shake, they may not align properly
in the final image.
Caution
The image area is smaller than in other shooting modes.
RAW image quality cannot be set.
Flash photography is not available.
Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look
uneven or noisy.
HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit scenes or
extremely high-contrast scenes.
When shooting subjects that are sufficiently bright as they are, for example for
normally lit scenes, the image may look unnatural due to the HDR effect.
Shooting moving subjects may result in afterimages from the movement, or
darkness around the subject.
Images may not be aligned correctly if they are patterned (with a lattice or stripes,
for example), are generally flat and uniform, or are greatly out of alignment due to
camera shake or other issues.
It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged after
shooting. [
BUSY ] appears on the screen as images are processed, and shooting is
not possible until processing is finished.
