  • Shooting Menu 2

    This menu includes key settings for Sequential Shooting, Bracketing, HDR, Multiple Exposure, Image Stabiliser, etc.

  • With HDR photography, the camera shoots several images and automatically combines them into an HDR image. You can also shoot several images and carry out HDR imaging on a computer. HDR1 and HDR2 are available in P, A and S modes. To avoid any movement of the camera when using HDR, it’s best to use a tripod for maximum results.
