Applying Special Effects
Add a variety of effects to images when shooting.
Conveying a Sense of Speed by Blurring the
Background (Panning)
By panning, you can blur the background to convey a sense of speed.
The camera will detect and correct subject blurring, so the subject will
remain relatively clear and sharp.

such as cars or trains.
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.
