B Notes on HDR
• Use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A110) 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 will be narrower than
that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.
• When the shutter-released button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots pictures continuously
and saves the following two images.
- Non-HDR composite image
- HDR composite image (loss of detail is reduced in highlights and shadows)
- If there is only enough memory to save one image, one image processed by D-Lighting (A93)
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 steady without moving it
until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, 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.
o Backlighting
• On the screen that appears when o Backlighting is selected, HDR (high dynamic
range) composition can be set.
• When HDR is set to Off (default setting): The flash fires to prevent the backlit subject
from being hidden in shadow. Shoot pictures with the flash raised.
• When HDR is set to Level 1-Level 3: Use when taking pictures 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.
• The camera focuses at the center area of the frame.
