o Backlighting
Use when light is coming from behind the subject, throwing features or details into shadow.
Press the d button to set whether or not to save an image with HDR (high dynamic range)
composition using the HDR setting in Backlighting.
• When HDR is set to Off (default setting): The flash fires to
prevent the backlit subject from being hidden in shadow.
- The camera focuses at the center area of the frame.
- Press the shutter-release button all the way to shoot a
single picture.
• When HDR is set to On: Use when taking pictures with
very bright and dark areas in the same frame.
- The P icon is displayed on the shooting screen.
- The camera focuses at the center area of the frame.
- When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way,
the camera shoots pictures continuously and saves the
following two images.
- Non-HDR composite image
- HDR composite image (loss of detail is reduced in highlights and shadows)
- The second image saved is an HDR composite image. If there is only enough memory
to save one image, an image processed by D-Lighting (A80) 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 steady without
moving it until a still picture is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera
off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image will be
narrower than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.
- Use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A100)
to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
- The digital zoom is not available.
