8: G Shooting Backlit Scenes - Canon EOS 6D Mark II Instruction Manual

8: G Shooting Backlit Scenes

When shooting a scene having both the bright and dark areas, use the
<G> (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this
mode, three consecutive shots are taken at different exposures. This
results in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the
clipped shadows caused by backlighting.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
Shooting Tips
Hold the camera firmly.
During 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.
See the cautions on page 125.
