Addendum
HDR (High Dynamic Range)
The Pentax K-7 is the only current DSLR that has an HDR function. The picture at
left below was taken without HDR. The right picture was taken with HDR strong.
The first picture show some washed-out area and dark shadow. The second picture
shows a more uniform distribution of the dynamic range. The HDR function is
found in the Rec. menu page 2. It is only available with JPEG files.
Electronic Level Function
The K-7 can display a level meter in the viewfinder, on the LCD panel and on the
LCD monitor when shooting in Live View. It helps in making that the horizon is
leveled. That should replace the bubble levels found on tripods. This feature is
found in the Rec. menu page 3. Furthermore, in the same menu, just below the
Electronic Level, check marking the Horizon Correction will automatically correct
horizontal errors by up to 1°. It doesn’t seem much, but you will be surprised how
often the horizon line is a tad out.
Programmable Embedded Copyright
Another great idea from Pentax. You can embed copyright in the Exif data of all
your images. Nobody can change that information and this will protect your images
from being hijacked and used by someone else without your permission or payment.
This function is found in the Set-up menu page 3. You can put the Photographer’s
name and the copyright holder.
