• In the case of [HDR Painting] and [Rich-tone Mono.], the shutter is released 3 times for 1 shot. Be careful about the following:

– Use this function when the subject is motionless or does not blink.

– Do not recompose.

When the contrast of the scene is low or when significant camera shake or subject blur has occurred, you may not obtain good HDR images. If the camera detects such situation, / is indicated on the recorded image to inform you of this situation. Shoot again, as necessary, recomposing or paying attention to the blur.
