This figure shows the histogram before
the D-Range Optimizer or the Auto HDR
was applied, not that of the image that will
actually be shot.
Does not use [DRO/Auto HDR].
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 3 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. 1 image with
proper exposure and 1 overlaid image are recorded.
Using the D-Range Optimizer, optimizes the
gradations of a recorded image in each area of the
image. Select the optimal level between Lv1 (weak)
and Lv5 (strong). Automatically adjusted at
[AUTO].
Using the Auto HDR, sets the exposure difference,
based on the contrast of the subject. Select the
optimal level between 1.0 EV (weak) and 6.0 EV
(strong). Automatically adjusted at [AUTO].
