Shoot.
• When you press the shutter button, the camera automatically shoots the set number
of images.
• While shooting, a simply composed image will be displayed on the monitor or in the
view nder.
# Cautions
• In the case of HDR1 and HDR2, exposure compensation is not available.
• If you shoot with a slower shutter speed, there may be more noticeable noise.
• Attach the camera to a tripod or other stabilizing item and then shoot.
• The image displayed on the monitor or in the view nder while shooting will differ from the
HDR-processed image.
• In the case of HDR1 and HDR2, the HDR-processed image will be saved as a JPEG  le.
When the image quality mode is set to [RAW], the image is recorded in RAW+JPEG. The
only image recorded in RAW is the image with suitable exposure.
• If set to HDR1/HDR2, the picture mode is  xed to [Natural] and the color setting is  xed to
[sRGB]. [Full-time AF] does not operate.
• Flash photography, bracketing, multiple exposure and time lapse shooting cannot be used
at the same time as HDR photography.
