Clipped highlights and shadows will be reduced for a high dynamic 
range of tones even with high-contrast scenes. HDR shooting is 
effective for landscape and still-life shots.
With HDR shooting, three images of different exposures (standard 
exposure, underexposure, and overexposure) are captured 
continuously for each shot and then merged together 
automatically. The HDR image is recorded as a JPEG image.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

Natural
For images preserving a wide tonal  range where the highlight and 
shadow details would otherwise be lost. Clipped highlights and 
shadows will be reduced.
 Art standard
While the clipped highlights and shadows will be reduced more than 
with [Natural ], the contrast will be lower, and the gradation flatter to 
have the picture look like a painti ng. The subject outlines will have 
bright (or dark) edges.
 Art vivid
The colors are more saturated than with [ Art standard], and the low 
contrast and flat gradation create a graphic art effect.
 Art bold
The colors are the most saturated, making the subject pop out, and 
the picture look like an oil painting.
 Art embossed
The color saturation, brightness, contrast and gradation are 
decreased to make the picture look flat. The picture looks faded and 
old. The subject outlines will have bright (or dark) edges.

HDR shooting is possible with 
viewfinder shooting and Live View 
shooting.
  will be displayed on the LCD 
panel.
 When you press the shutter button 
completely, three consecutive images 
will be captured, and the HDR image 
will be recorded to the card.
 If the image-recording quality is set to RAW, the HDR image will be 
recorded in  73 quality. If the image-recording quality is set to 
RAW+JPEG, the HDR image will be recorded in the JPEG quality set.
 HDR shooting is not possible with ISO expansion (L, H). HDR shooting is 
possible within ISO 100 - ISO 6400.
 The flash will not fire during HDR shooting.
 During HDR shooting, the settings of [ z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer ], 
[ z 3: Highlight tone priority ], and [z5: Expo. simulation ] will be 
automatically switched to [ Disable].
 AEB cannot be set.
 If you shoot a moving subject, t he subject’s movement may leave 
afterimages.
 In HDR shooting, three images are captured with different shutter 
speeds set automatically. Therefore, even in < s> and  shooting 
modes, the shutter speed will be shifted based on the shutter speed you 
set.
 To prevent camera shake, a high ISO speed may be set.

When shooting HDR images with [ Auto Image Align] set to [Enable], 
AF point display information (p.325) and Dust Delete Data (p.375) will 
not be appended to the image.
 If you perform handheld HDR shooting while [ Auto Image Align] is set 
to [Enable ], image periphery will be slightly cropped and resolution will 
be slightly lowered (except when shooting with [1.3x (crop)] or [ 1.6x 
(crop) ]). Also, if the images cannot be aligned properly due to camera 
shake, etc., auto image alignment may not take effect. Note that when 
shooting with excessively bright (or dark) exposure settings, auto image 
alignment may not work properly.
 If you perform handheld HDR shooting while [ Auto Image Align] is set 
to [Disable], the three images may not be properly aligned and the HDR 
effect may be minimal. Using a tripod is recommended.
 Auto image alignment may not work properly with repetitive patterns 
(lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
 The color gradation of the sky or white walls may not be reproduced 
correctly. Irregular colors, irregular exposure or noise may appear.
 HDR shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in unnatural 
color reproduction of the illuminated areas.
 With HDR shooting, the images will be merged, then saved to the card, 
so it may take some time. Therefore, it will take a longer time to record 
the HDR image to the card than with normal shooting. During the 
processing of the images, “ buSY” will be displayed in the viewfinder and 
on the LCD panel, and you cannot take another picture until the 
processing is completed.
 If you change the shooting mode or switch to movie shooting after setting 
HDR shooting, HDR shooting setting may be cleared ([ Adjust dyn 
range ] setting may be switched to [ Disable HDR]).

You can shoot two to nine exposures to be merged into one image. If 
you shoot multiple-exposure images with Live View shooting (p.255), 
you can see how the single exposures are being merged while 
shooting.
1Press the  button.
2Select Multiple exposure.
Select [ P], then press < 0>.
 The multiple exposure setting screen 
will appear.
3Set [Multiple exposure].
 Select [ On:Func/Ctrl ] or 
[On:ContShtng ], then press .
 To exit shooting multiple exposures, 
select [Disable].
 On: Func/Ctrl (Function and control priority)
Convenient when you want to shoot multiple exposures while 
checking the result as you proceed.  During continuous shooting, the 
continuous shooting speed  will decrease greatly.
 On: ContShtng (Continuous shooting priority)
Geared for continuous multiple -exposure shooting of a moving 
subject. Continuous shooting is  possible, but the following 
operations are disabled during shooting: menu viewing, Live View 
display, image review after im age capture, image playback, and 
undo last image (p.232).
Also, only the multiple-exposure  image will be saved. (The single 
exposures merged in the multiple-exposure image will not be 
saved.)

4Set [Multi-expos ctrl].
Select the desired multiple-exposure 
control method, then press < 0>.
 Additive
The exposure of each single exposure is added cumulatively. Based 
on the [ No. of exposures ], set a negative exposure compensation. 
Refer to the basic guide below to set a negative exposure 
compensation.
Exposure Compensation Setting Guide for Multiple Exposures
Two exposures: -1 stop, three exposur es: -1.5 stop, four exposures: 
-2 stops
 Average
Based on the [ No. of exposures ], negative exposure compensation 
is set automatically as you shoot multiple exposures. If you shoot 
multiple exposures of the same sc ene, the exposure of the subject’s 
background will be automatically controlled to obtain a standard 
exposure.
 Bright/Dark
The brightness (or darkness) of the base image and the images to 
be added are compared at the same position, and then the bright (or 
dark) part will be left in the picture. Depending on the overlapping 
colors, the colors may be mixed depending on the brightness (or 
darkness) ratio of the compared images.
5Set the [No. of exposures].
Select the number of exposures, then 
press < 0>.

After you shoot the set number of 
exposures, multiple-exposure shooting 
will exit. With continuous shooting, after 
you finish shooting the set number of 
exposures while holding down the 
shutter button, the shooting will stop.
 The image-recording quality, ISO speed, Picture Style, high ISO speed 
noise reduction and color space, etc. set for the first single exposure will 
also be set for the subsequent exposures.
 You cannot use crop shooting or shoot with a set aspect ratio for multiple 
exposures. [ Full-frame] will be applied for [ z4: Crop/aspect ratio ] for 
shooting.
 During multiple exposure shooting, the settings of [ z1: Lens 
aberration correction ], [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer ], and [z3: 
Highlight tone priority ] will be automatically switched to [ Disable].
 If [z 3: Picture Style ] is set to [Auto], [Standard ] will be applied for 
shooting.
 If [On:Func/Ctrl] and [ Additive], [Bright ], or [Dark ] are both set, the 
image displayed during shooting may look noisy. However, when you 
finish shooting the set number of exposures, noise reduction will be 
applied and the final multiple-exposure image will be less noisy.
 If you perform Live View shooting while [ On:ContShtng] is set, the Live 
View function will stop autom atically after the first shot is taken. From the 
second shot onward, shoot while looking through the viewfinder.
When [ On:Func/Ctrl ] is set, you can press the < x> button to view the 
multiple exposures taken so far or del ete the last single exposure (p.232).

With multiple exposures, the more exposures there are, the more 
noticeable the noise, irregular colors, and banding will be. Also, as noise 
increases with higher ISO speeds,  shooting at low ISO speeds is 
recommended.
 If [Additive], [ Bright], or [Dark] is set, the image processing after taking 
the multiple exposures will take time. (The access lamp will light up 
longer.)
 If you perform Live View shooting while [ On:Func/Ctrl] and [Additive ], 
[ Bright ], or [Dark ] are both set, the Live View function will stop 
automatically when the multiple-exposure shooting ends.
 In step 9, the brightness and noise of the multiple-exposure image 
displayed during Live View shooting will be different from the final 
multiple-exposure image recorded.
 If [On:ContShtng ] is set, let go of the shutter button after shooting the 
set number of exposures.
 Doing any of the following will cancel the multiple-expos ure shooting: Set 
the power switch to < 2>, replace the battery, replace the card, or 
switch to movie shooting.
 If you switch the shooting mode to < A> or  while shooting, 
multiple-exposure shooting will end.
 If you connect the camera to a computer or printer, multiple-exposure 
shooting will not be possible. If you connect the camera to a computer or 
printer during shooting, multiple-exposure shooting will stop.
