Notes on HDR
• Use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (
A
96) to Off
when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
• The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower than that
seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots pictures continuously
and saves the following 2 images.
- An image processed by D-Lighting (
A
74) at the time of shooting (image compensated to
make a dark area brighter)
- HDR composite image (loss of detail is reduced in highlights and shadows)
- If there is only enough memory to save one image, one image processed by D-Lighting is the
only image saved.
• Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without moving it
until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the
monitor switches to the shooting screen.
• Depending on the shooting conditions, dark shadows may appear around bright subjects and
bright areas may appear around dark subjects.
