Shooting Mode Types
Dynamic Range Expansion Effect
The [Dynamic Range Expansion] option
in the shooting menu offers five levels of
dynamic range expansion: [Auto], [Very
Weak], [Weak], [Medium], and [Strong].
The stronger the expansion effect,
the wider the range of brightnesses
processed by the camera.
To adjust dynamic range expansion settings, turn the mode dial to Q
and then select an option for [Dynamic Range Expansion] in the
shooting menu.
If an option other than [Auto] is
highlighted when you press the ADJ./OK
button F, the menu shown at right will be
displayed. Choose the tone range given
priority for expanded dynamic range from
[Highlights], [Shadows], and [Off].
Dynamic Range Expansion Plus Normal Shooting
When [On] is selected for [Plus Normal Shooting] in the shooting
menu, the camera will record two copies of each photo: one with an
expanded dynamic range and the other with normal exposure. The
two copies are displayed in the picture display after shooting, with the
unmodified copy on the right and the copy with an expanded dynamic
range of the left.
To turn this option on or off, turn the mode dial to Q and then select
an option for [Plus Normal Shooting] in the shooting menu.
Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Histograms of the images are displayed after shooting. When [LCD Confirmation
Time] is set to [Hold] (GP.94), the confirmation screen remains displayed so
you can confirm the histograms and easily compare the images.
