(O )

Does not use DRO/Auto HDR.

(D-Range

Opt.)

By dividing the image into small areas, the camera analyzes the contrast of light
and shade between the subject and the background, producing an image with
optimal brightness and gradation.

(Auto HDR)

Shoots three images with dierent exposures, and then overlays the bright area of
the underexposed image and the dark area of the overexposed image to create an
image with richer gradation. One image with proper exposure and one overlaid
image are recorded.

Control Dial L

Control Dial L

(Standard)

For shooting various scenes with rich gradation and strong colors.

(Vivid)

Saturation and contrast are heightened for shooting striking images of colorful
scenes and subjects such as owers, spring greenery, blue sky, ocean views etc.

(Neutral)

Saturation and sharpness are lowered for capturing images in a quiet tone. is
setting is also suitable for capturing images to be modied with a computer.

Creative Style Settings

Sets the mode.

Selects the contrast, saturation, or sharpness.

Adjusts the contrast, saturation, or sharpness.

Using the D-Range Settings eectively

By combining the DRO/Auto HDR manual setting (exposure dierence/ DRO-Level) and exposure com-
pensation, you can control the range of the contrast of light and shade (gradations) to be reproduced.

With DRO, set a DRO-Level to reproduce the shadow tones, and set a minus value of exposure com­pensation to reproduce the light tones. A large minus compensation and DRO-Level setting may cause
noise. It is recommended that you check the result rst, by enlarging the playback image, etc.
With Auto HDR, set the exposure dierence to adjust the overall reproduction range, and shi the
range towards lighter tones (minus compensation) or darker tones (plus compensation) with the expo­sure compensation setting.

When you pan or tilt the camera, the camera shoots several images and composes them into a pano­ramic image. Sweep panorama mode allows you to shoot wide, panoramic scenes that cannot t all at
one time on the screen, without any breaks and discontinuity.

Here are some of the unique functions achieved by full use of Hasselblad imaging technology.

Tips for shooting a panoramic image

Anti Motion Blur

Select MENU  Shoot Mode  Anti Motion Blur.

e camera combines six shots captured at high speed into one still image, reducing camera shake as
well as preventing noise. By treating the person (subject) in the foreground and the background sepa­rately, both camera shake and subject blur are reduced. Avoiding use of ash prevents over-exposure.

Manual movie recording

Press the MOVIE button.

Adjust the exposure by using the Control Dials L/R and the Control Wheel.

e items that can be adjusted vary according to the shooting mode

In the P, A, S, or M mode, you can adjust the exposure even when recording movies. is enables you to
produce more creative expression, by reducing the focus on the background, adjusting the brightness, etc.

• e sound of the lens and the camera in operation will also be recorded.

Note

General

The dierence between Anti Motion Blur and Hand-held Twilight functions

Just as with Anti Motion Blur, the camera combines six shots into one still image with Hand-held
Twi light in Scene Selection.
Hand-held Twilight is designed to be used for dark scenes , such as a scene shot at night. When it

becomes dark and camera-shake is likely to occur, the camera automatically increases the sensitivity and
shoots at a shutter speed that reduces the eect of camera shake.
Anti Motion Blur is designed to be used when shooting a subject in low light, such as when shooting
indoors. e camera automatically increases the sensitivity and shoots the subject at a high speed shutter
setting to reduce the blur caused by movement of the subject.

Movies

(h (hour), m (minute))

• e recording time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR (Variable Bit Rate) which
automatically adjusts image quality depending on the shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving sub­ject, the image is clearer but the recording time is shorter because a lot of memory is needed to record. e
recording time also varies according to the shooting conditions or your subject or the quality/size setting.

Note

• ese numbers were estimated with a battery pack at full capacity and under the following conditions:

– At an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).
– Quality set to Fine.
– Autofocus Mode set to Single-shot AF.
– Shooting takes place once every 30 seconds.
– Flash used for every other shot.
– Power turned o then on again once every 10 shots.
– Using a battery pack that is charged for an hour aer the CHARGE lamp goes out.
– Using Sony “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media (sold separately).

• e measurement method is based on the CIPA standard. (CIPA: Camera & Imaging Products Association)

e approximate number of images that can be recorded is as follows when you use the camera with the
battery pack (supplied) at full capacity.
Note that the actual number may be less depending on the conditions of use.

About focal length

e picture angle of this camera is narrower than
that of a 35 mm-format lm camera. You can nd
the approximate equivalent of the focal length of
a 35 mm-format lm camera, and shoot with the
same picture angle, by increasing the focal length
of your lens by half. For example, by using a 50 mm
lens, you can get the approximate equivalent of a 75
mm lens of a 35 mm-format lm camera.

About image data compatibility

• is camera conforms with DCF (Design rule
for Camera File system) universal standard
established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and In-
formation Technology Industries Association).

• Playback of images recorded with your camera

on other equipment and playback of images
recorded or edited with other equipment on
your camera are not guaranteed.
