Shooting Features
o Backlighting
• After you select o Backlighting, set HDR (high dynamic range) compositing to On or Off on
the next screen.
• The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
• When HDR is set to On: Use when taking pictures with very bright and dark areas in the same
frame.
- P is displayed when shooting.
- 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 (A 76) 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.
• When HDR is set to Off (default setting): The flash always fires. Raise the flash before shooting.
- When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down, one image is captured.
