Corrects the exposure difference automatically.

Note

  • [Auto HDR] is not available for RAW images.
  • When the shooting mode is set to [Intelligent Auto], [Superior Auto], [Sweep Panorama] or [Scene Selection], you cannot select [Auto HDR].
  • When [Multi Frame NR] is selected, you cannot select [Auto HDR].
  • You cannot start the next shot until the capture process is completed after you shoot.
  • You may not obtain the desired effect depending on the luminance difference of a subject and the shooting conditions.
  • When the flash is used, this function has little effect.
  • When the contrast of the scene is low or when product shake or subject blur occurs, you may not obtain good HDR images. If the product has detected a problem, is displayed on the recorded image to inform you of this situation. Shoot again as necessary, paying attention to the contrast or blur.
