Shooting Mode Types
 Dynamic Range Double Shot Mode (Q)
The "dynamic range" of a digital camera refers to 
the range of brightness that can be processed by 
the camera.
When you set the mode dial to Q and shoot, the 
scene is reproduced with a smooth transition from 
the bright areas to the dark areas, allowing you to capture a more 
natural-looking image.
 Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With dynamic range double shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with 
different exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are 
combined together. This mode uses a longer shooting time than other modes, 
so be careful of camera shake when taking pictures. The J symbol is always 
displayed.

 Caution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•  Dynamic range double shot may not be effective if the shooting location is 
overly bright or dark.
•  [Multi] metering is recommended. (GP. 6 8 )
•  When shooting a fast-moving subject, the subject may be distorted in the 
recorded image.
•  Flicker from fluorescent lights may appear as horizontal bands. Fluorescent 
lighting may also affect colors and brightness.
