Table of contents Sample photo Menu search search Auto HDR Widens the range (gradations) so that you can record from bright parts to dark parts in correct brightness (Auto High Dynamic Range). One image with proper exposure and one overlaid image are recorded. 1 [Menu] t [Brightness/Color] t [DRO/Auto HDR] t [Auto HDR]. 2 [Option] t desired value. (Auto Exposure Diff.) 1.0 EV - 6.0 EV Corrects the exposure difference automatically. 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). Notes • You cannot start the next shoot until the capture process is completed after you shoot. • You cannot use this function with [RAW] and [RAW & JPEG] images. • You cannot select [Auto HDR] during [Smile Shutter]. If you turn on the [Smile Shutter] function with [Auto HDR] selected, the camera will temporarily use the DRO setting. • Since the shutter is released three times for one shot, be careful about the following: - Use this function when the subject is motionless or does not blink. - Do not recompose. • You may not obtain a desired effect depending on the luminance difference of a subject and the shooting conditions. • When the flash is used, this function has little effect. • When the contrast of the scene is low or when significant camera shake or subject blur has occurred, you may not obtain good HDR images. If the camera detects such situation, is indicated on the recorded image to inform you of this situation. Shoot again, as necessary, recomposing or paying attention to the blur. Index 74GB
