Shooting Features
B Notes About HDR
• Use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction (A92) in the setup
menu 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 in the monitor at the time of shooting.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots images
continuously 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
• If there is only enough memory to save one image, an image processed by D-
Lighting (A83) 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 an image, 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. You can compensate
by lowering the level setting.
m Fireworks show
• The shutter speed is fixed at about 4 seconds.
n Black and white copy
• Use together with D (macro close-up) focus mode (A59) when shooting
subjects that are close to the camera.
o Backlighting
• From the screen displayed after o Backlighting is selected, HDR (high
dynamic range) composition can be set.
•Off (default setting): The flash fires to prevent the subject from being hidden in
shadow. Shoot images with the flash raised.
• Level 1-Level 3: Use when taking images with very bright and dark areas in the
same frame. Select Level 1 when there is less difference between bright and
dark areas, and Level 3 when there is more difference between bright and dark
areas.
