Shooting Features Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to Scenes) y M o Backlighting On the screen that is displayed when o Backlighting is selected, select HDR (high dynamic range) composition using the HDR setting. • When HDR is set to Off (default setting): The flash fires to prevent the backlit subject from being hidden in shadow. Shoot pictures with the flash raised. • When HDR is set to Level 1-Level 3: Use when taking pictures with very bright and dark areas in the same frame. Select Level 1 when there is less difference between bright and dark areas, and Level 3 when there is more difference between bright and dark areas. • The camera focuses at the center area of the frame. B Notes on HDR • Use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction in the setup menu (A103) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera. • The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting. • 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) - If there is only enough memory to save one image, one image processed by D-Lighting (A84) 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. • 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. • The digital zoom is not available when HDR is set to Level 1-Level 3. 39
