G Shooting Backlit Scenes - Canon EOS 70D Instruction Manual

G Shooting Backlit Scenes

When shooting a scene having both bright and dark areas, use the
<G> (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this
mode, three continuous shots are taken at different exposures. This
results in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the
blocked-up shadows caused by backlighting.
Shooting Tips
Hold the camera firmly.
While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. In this mode,
three shots are aligned and merged into a single image. However, if
there is significant misalignment in any of the three shots due to
camera shake, they may not align properly in the final image.
Flash shooting is not possible. In low light, the AF-assist beam may be
emitted (p.90).
See the cautions on pages 83-84.
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
