Combining Still Pictures With Different Exposures ([Hdr]) - Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 Owner's Manual

Combining still pictures with different exposures ([HDR])

Recording mode:
The camera can combine 3 still pictures taken at different exposures into a single
properly exposed picture with rich gradation. The individual pictures used to create the
