    Solution

      When shooting a scene having both bright and dark areas. When you take a picture, three continuous shots will be taken at different exposures. The loss of detail in highlights and shadows will be reduced in the final image.

      1. Set the power to <ON>.

      2. Tap [P], and then select [HDR Backlight Control].






      3. While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily.



      • Compared with other shooting modes, the shooting area will be smaller.
      • While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. If the continuous shots are very misaligned due to camera shake, etc., they may not align properly in the final image.
      CAUTION
      • The AF-assist beam will be emitted.
      • Flash cannot be used.
      • Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.
      • HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit scenes or extremely high-contrast scenes.
      • When shooting subjects that are sufficiently bright, for example for normally lit scenes, the image may look unnatural because of the applied HDR effect.
      • + or cannot be selected. With other shooting modes, if + or is set, the picture will be recorded in .
      • If you shoot a moving subject, ghost-like images of the subject may result.
      • The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or greatly misaligned shots caused by camera shake.
      • Compared to normal shooting, recording the image to the card will take longer. During the processing of the images, [BUSY] will be displayed and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed.
      • You cannot use Creative filters when shooting.
      • Final image simulation is not available.
      • If the shooting mode is set to <> or <>, direct printing is not possible. Select another mode to perform direct printing.
