Dynamic Range Double Shot Mode (
Q
)
The "dynamic range" of a digital camera refers to
the range of brightness that can be processed by
the camera.
When you set the mode dial to
Q
and shoot, the
scene is reproduced with a smooth transition from
the bright areas to the dark areas, allowing you to capture a more
natural-looking image.
Note
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With dynamic range double shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with
different exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are
combined together. This mode uses a longer shooting time than other modes,
so be careful of camera shake when taking pictures. The
J
symbol is always
displayed.

overly bright or dark.

• When shooting a fast-moving subject, the subject may be distorted in the
recorded image.
• Flicker from fluorescent lights may appear as horizontal bands. Fluorescent
lighting may also affect colors and brightness.
