- The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.
- When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots images continuously and saves the following two images.
- A non-HDR composite image
- An HDR composite image in which the loss of details in highlights or shadows is minimized
- Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still image is displayed. After taking a picture, do not turn the camera off before the screen switches to the shooting screen.
- If HDR compositing could not be performed, the camera saves a non-HDR composite image and an image in which dark areas are corrected.
- If there is only enough memory to save one image, an image processed at the time of shooting, in which dark areas of the image are corrected, is the only image saved.
