HDR (High Dynamic Range) Shooting
You can shoot photos with a wide dynamic range where clipping in
highlights and shadows has been reduced, and photos that appear like
paintings. This is suited for scenes such as still-life and landscape. In
HDR shooting, one shot is taken using three images shot with different
exposures (negative exposure, standard exposure, positive exposure),
and they are combined into a single image automatically. Shot HDR
images are recorded in JPEG quality.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
