Taking HDR (High Dynamic Range) images (HDR)

The camera varies exposure over a series of shots, selects from each tone range with the highest level of detail, and combines them to create a single picture with a wide dynamic range. If the photo features a high-contrast subject, details that would otherwise be lost in shadows or highlights will be preserved.

  • Use a tripod or take similar measures to fix the camera in place.

Each time you take a photo, the camera will take a series of shots while varying exposure and combine them into a single picture. Choose [HDR1] for natural-looking results, [HDR2] for a more painterly effect.

  • [KISO] is fixed at ISO 200.
  • Shutter speeds can be as slow as 4 s. Shooting will continue for up to 15 s.
  • Picture mode is fixed at [Natural] and color space at [sRGB].
