By dividing the image into small areas, the camera analyzes the
contrast of light and shadow between the subject and the
background, producing the image with the optimal brightness
and gradation.
Shoots three images with different exposures, and then overlays
the bright area of the under exposed image and the dark area of
the over exposed image to create an image with rich gradation.
One image with proper exposure and one overlaid image are
recorded.
