Anti Motion Blur / Hand-held Twilight modes (Scene Selection)
Creative Style
Employing Sony image compositing technology, these two modes deliver superb photos
with reduced noise and blur when shooting handheld in low-light environments. Anti Motion
Blur mode is especially useful for decreasing blur caused by camera shake and subject
movement, while Hand-held Twilight mode balances exposure between the main subject
and background for pleasing nighttime photos.
Auto HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode / D-range Optimizer (DRO)
Decrease contrast in scenes with extremely dark and light areas. Well suited for stationary
subjects, Auto HDR mode combines three images — one each for highlights, mid-tones and
shadows — to produce one photo that closely resembles the scene as you saw it. DRO takes
only one shot, but can be used for lowering contrast in photos with moving subjects and
when using continuous shooting.
