Note
When you use a zoom function other than the optical zoom, setting the zoom scale larger makes [Toy Camera] less effective.
When [Partial Color] is selected, images may not retain the selected color, depending on the subject or shooting conditions.
You cannot check the following effects on the shooting screen, because the product processes the image after the shot. Also, you
cannot shoot another image until image processing is finished. You cannot use these effects with movies.
[Rich-tone Mono.]
In the case of [Rich-tone Mono.], the shutter is released three times for one shot. Be careful about the following:
Use this function when the subject is motionless or does not flash light.
Do not change the composition during shooting.
When the contrast of the scene is low or when significant camera-shake or subject blur has occurred, you may not be able to
obtain good HDR images. If the product detects such a situation,
(Picture Effect error) will appear on the recorded image to
inform you of this situation. Change the composition or re-shoot the image carefully to avoid image blur, as needed.
This function is not available in the following shooting modes:
[Intelligent Auto]
When [ File Format] is set to [RAW] or [RAW & JPEG], this function is not available.
