[Handheld Night Shot]
Takes clear still pictures of night scenes with less jitter and less noise by combining a
burst of still pictures.
■
Tips
•Stand at least 5 m (16 feet) away.
•After the shutter button has been pressed, do not move the camera during the burst
operation.
●
Since a burst of still pictures are combined after they have been recorded, it will be a
few moments before you will be able to record another picture.
[HDR]
The camera can combine several still pictures taken with different exposures into a single
properly exposed picture with rich gradation. The individual pictures used to create the
HDR picture are not saved. You can minimize the loss of gradations in bright areas and
dark areas when, for example, the contrast between the background and the subject is
large.

contrast range.
