hue setting is saved in the camera’s memory even after
the camera is turned off.

the multi selector HIJK or rotate it to move the
focus area, and press the k button to apply the

- When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots images
continuously and saves the following two images.
- A non-HDR composite image
- An HDR composite image in which the loss of details in highlights or shadows is
minimized
- If there is only enough memory to save one image, an 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 still until a still
image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the screen
switches to the shooting screen.
- The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is
narrower than that seen on the shooting screen.
- Under some shooting conditions, dark shadows may appear around bright subjects
or bright areas may appear around dark subjects.
