Press the MENU button to set HDR (high dynamic range) compositing using the HDR setting.

prevent the backlit subject from being hidden in shadow.
- Shoot pictures with the flash raised.
- The camera focuses at the center area of the frame.
- Press the shutter-release button aHthe way to shoot a
single picture.
• When HDR is set to Level l-Level3: Use when taking
pictures with very bright and dark areas in the same frame.
Select Level 1 when there is lessdifference between bright
and dark areas, and Level :3when there is more difference
between bright and dark areas.
- The _}_ 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 ([_88) 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.
- Depending on the shooting conditions, dark shadows may appear around bright
subjects and bright areas may appear around dark subjects. You can compensate by
lowering the level setting.
- Use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (_108)
to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
