High Dynamic Range Image Capture
High dynamic range photography is a way of expressing the entire range from dark to bright areas by capturing multiple images with different exposures (underexposed, properly exposed (standard), and overexposed), and combining them into a single image.
HDR Capture
Available by setting through the control panel or in the
[A Rec. Mode 1] menu.
Z
(Night Scene HDR) Available by selecting from H mode. (p.82)
This section explains how to set [HDR Capture].

• When both Shake Reduction and Auto Align are activated, take note of the following points.
• Make sure to hold the camera firmly so that the composition of the picture does not change while the three images are captured. If there is a great difference of the composition between three images, Auto Align may not be possible.
• Images captured with HDR Capture are susceptible to camera shake and blur. Be sure to set a higher shutter speed and a higher ISO sensitivity.
• When the sensitivity is set to [ISO AUTO], the sensitivity can be raised more easily than normal.
• Auto Align may not be possible when lenses that have a focal length exceeding 100 mm are used, or when the entire subject is checkered or has a uniform surface.
• In Z (Night Scene HDR) mode, [HDR Capture] is fixed to [Auto] and the
Auto Align function is enabled.
• If [One Push File Format] is assigned to the V/Y button, pressing the button temporarily deactivates HDR Capture and saves captured images in RAW+.
