Use when light is coming from behind the subject, throwing features or details into
shadow.
Set
HDR to On or Off in the o (backlighting) menu according to the shooting conditions
and subject.
Press the
d button to display the o (backlighting) menu.
•
Off (default setting): The flash fires to prevent the subject from being hidden in shadow.
The o icon is displayed at the top left of the monitor.
•
On: Use when taking pictures with very bright and dark areas in the same frame. The D
icon and the P icon are displayed at the top left of the monitor.
When
HDR is set to Off:
• The camera focuses on the subject at the center of the
frame.
• The flash fires regardless of the brightness of the subject
when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way.
When
HDR is set to On:
• The camera focuses on the subject at the center of the
frame.
• When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way,
the camera shoots images continuously at high speed,
and saves the following two images.
- An image processed by D-Lighting (
A 125) at the time
of shooting
- HDR (high dynamic range) composite image (the effects
of over-exposure and under-exposure are reduced)
• The second image saved is an HDR composite image. If only one image can be saved, an
image processed by D-Lighting is the only image saved.
• If there are very bright areas and very dark areas in the frame, the D icon lights in green.
• Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera steady without
moving it until a still image is displayed.
• After taking a picture, it takes some time to save the image. Do not turn the camera off
before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.
• The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image will be
narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.
• Digital zoom is not available.
