Shooting High-Contrast Scenes (High Dynamic
Range)
Still Images Movies

each time you shoot, and the camera combines image areas with optimal
brightness to create a single image. This mode can reduce the washed-
out highlights and loss of detail in shadows that tend to occur in high-
contrast shots.

Shoot.
● Hold the camera steady as you shoot.
When you press the shutter button all
the way down, the camera will take three
shots and combine them.
● Excessive motion blur or certain shooting conditions may prevent
you from obtaining the desired results.
● If excessive camera shake interferes with shooting, mount
the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still.
Additionally, you should turn off image stabilization when using a
tripod or other means to secure the camera (

● Any subject movement will make the image blurry.
● There will be a delay before you can shoot again, as the camera
processes and combines the images.
