Shooting High-Contrast Scenes (High

Dynamic Range)

Three consecutive images are captured at different brightness levels
each time you shoot, and the camera combines image areas with optimal
brightness to create a single image. This mode can reduce the washed-out
highlights and loss of detail in shadows that tend to occur in high-contrast
shots.

Hold the camera steady as you shoot.
When you press the shutter button all
the way down, the camera will take three
shots and combine them.

Excessive motion blur or certain shooting conditions may prevent
you from obtaining the desired results.

If excessive camera shake interferes with shooting, mount the camera on
a tripod or take other measures to keep it still. Additionally, you should set
[IS Mode] to [Off] when using a tripod or other means to secure the camera
(

Any subject movement will cause images to look blurry.

There will be a delay before you can shoot again, as the camera processes
and combines the images.
