Cautions for <F> Handheld Night Scene and <G> HDR Backlight
Control
You cannot select 1+73 or 1. If 1+73 or 1 is set, the image
will be recorded in 73 quality.
If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave
afterimages, or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark.
The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns
(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or images significantly
misaligned due to camera shake.
It takes some time to record images to the card since they are merged
after shooting. During the image processing, “buSY” will be displayed in
the viewfinder, and you cannot take another picture until the processing
is complete.
Cautions for <F> Handheld Night Scene
In flash photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture
may come out significantly bright (overexposure).
In flash photography, if you shoot a night scene with few lights, the shots
may not align correctly. This may result in a blurry picture.
In flash photography, if the human subject is close to the background that
is also illuminated by the flash, the shots may not align correctly. This
may result in a blurry picture. Unnatural shadows and unsuitable colors
may also appear.
Flash coverage angle with an external Speedlite:
• When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the
zoom position will be fixed to the wide (wide-angle) end, regardless of
the lens’s zoom position.
• When using a Speedlite requiring manual flash coverage setting, set
the flash head to the normal position.
Cautions for <G> HDR Backlight Control
Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and
may look irregular or have significant noise.
HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit
scenes or extremely high-contrast scenes.
When shooting subjects that are sufficiently bright as they are, for
example for normally lit scenes, the image may look unnatural due to the
HDR effect.
