[HDR]
In this mode, the camera can combine several still pictures taken with
different exposures into a single picture with rich gradation.
Tip
• After the shutter release button is been pressed, serial exposures commence.
Hold the camera still during the complete process.
Notes
• Since a series of still pictures are combined after they are recorded, it will take
a few moments before you can record another picture.
• A subject that was in motion when it was recorded may be rendered as a
double/multiple exposure.
• The camera may take a single still picture instead of several pictures under
certain recording conditions.
