• The setting is fixed to [Off] when [Sunset], [Night View], [Night Portrait], or [Hand-
held Twilight] is selected in Scene Selection. The setting is fixed to [Auto] when
other modes are selected in Scene Selection.
• When shooting with the D-Range optimizer, the image may be noisy. Select the
proper level by checking the recorded image, especially when you enhance the
effect.

• Since the shutter is released three times for one shot, be careful about the
following:
