Shooting High-Contrast Scenes

(High Dynamic Range)

Still Images

Movies

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.

Shoot.

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 (= 90).

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.
