The method used
to
capture
details
in shaded
areas
of
back-lit
subjects depends on the option
selected
for
HDR
in the shoot-
ing menu
(!Il
76).
Details
in highlights and shadows
are
preserved using
HDR
(high
dynamic range);
mm1
appears
in
the display.
Each
time the shutter-
release
button
is
fully
pressed, the camera takes
two
shots in quick
succession and combines them
to
preserve
details
in
highlights
and shadows in high-contrast
scenes;
the
built-in flash
does
not
fire.
While the shots
are
combined, a message
will be
displayed
and
the shutter
release will
be
disabled.
The
final photograph will
be
On
displayed
when processing
is
complete.

fires with each shot.

Photographs
The edges
of
the image
will
be cropped out. The desired results
may
not
be achieved
if
the camera or subject moves during shooting.
Depending on the
scene,
shading may be uneven and shadows may
appear around bright objects or
halos
around dark objects.
If
the cam-
era
is
unable
to
successfully combine the
two
images, a
single image
will be recorded at
normal
exposure and Active D-Lighting
(CIJ
76)
will
be
applied.
