High Dynamic Range Image Capture - Pentax KC-01 Operating Manual

High Dynamic Range Image Capture

High dynamic range photography is a way of expressing the entire range
from dark to bright areas by capturing multiple images with different
exposures (underexposed, properly exposed (standard), and
overexposed), and combining them into a single image.
HDR Capture
Z (Night Scene HDR) Available by selecting from H mode. (p.76)
p mode
This section explains how to set HDR Capture and p mode.
• During HDR Capture or in p mode, the following functions are not available.
- Continuous Shooting
- Flash mode
- Digital Filter
• During high dynamic range image capture, multiple images are combined
together to create a single image, so it will take more time to save an image.
HDR Capture
HDR Capture is available regardless of the mode dial setting (except in
some capture modes). It creates a single composite image from three
different exposures (-3 EV, standard exposure, and +3 EV).
• HDR Capture is not available in the following situations.
- when the file format is set to [RAW] or [RAW+]
- when p mode is set
• If p mode or Z (Night Scene HDR) of H mode is selected, settings for
these modes override the settings for HDR Capture.
