- 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.

- HDR composite image (the effects of over-exposure and under-exposure are

an image processed by D-Lighting is the only image saved.

on the monitor at the time of shooting.
