n Black and white copy
Provides clear images of text or drawings on a whiteboard or
in print.
• The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
• Use together with macro mode (A65) when shooting
subjects that are close to the camera.
o Backlighting
Use when light is coming from behind the subject, throwing
features or details into shadow.
From the screen displayed after the o Backlighting scene
mode is selected, enable or disable the high dynamic range
(HDR) function.
• When HDR is set to Off (default setting): The flash fires to
prevent the subject from being hidden in shadow.
- The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
- When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down, one image is captured.

- The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
Digital zoom cannot be used.
- When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way,
the camera shoots images continuously at high speed,
and saves the following two images.
- A non-HDR composite image
- An HDR composite image in which the loss of details in highlights or shadows is
minimized
- The second image saved is an HDR composite image. If there is only enough memory to
save one image, an image processed by D-Lighting (A79) at the time of shooting, in
which dark areas of the image are corrected, is the only image saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still
image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the monitor
switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image will be
narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.
