release button all the way to capture a series of images which are combined into a
single image and saved.

still image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the
screen switches to the shooting screen.
- If the subject moves while the camera is shooting continuously, the image may be
distorted, overlapped, or blurred.

- An HDR composite image in which the loss of details in highlights or shadows is
minimized
- If there is only enough memory to save one image, an image processed by D-Lighting
(A71) at the time of shooting, in which dark areas of the image are corrected, is the
only image saved.
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still
image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the screen
switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is
narrower than that seen on the shooting screen.

or bright areas may appear around dark subjects.
