“Dynamic range” refers to the range of brightnesses (tone levels) that 
can be expressed by the camera. Dynamic range double shot creates a 
smooth transition from highlights to shadows for natural contrast.

With dynamic range double shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with 
different exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are 
combined together. This mode uses a longer shooting time than other modes, 
so be careful of camera shake when taking pictures. The J symbol is always 
displayed.

Two consecutive shots

Combined and saved

•  Dynamic range double shot may not be effective if the shooting location is 

overly bright or dark.

•  We recommend that you select [Multi] for [Exposure Metering] (GP.74) in the 

shooting menu (GP.71) when using dynamic range double shot.

•  When shooting a fast-moving subject, the subject may be distorted in the 

recorded image.

•  Flicker from fluorescent lights may appear as horizontal bands. Fluorescent 

lighting may also affect colors and brightness.

The [Dynamic Range Expansion] option 
in the shooting menu offers five levels 
of dynamic range expansion: [AUTO], 
[Very Weak], [Weak], [Medium], and 
[Strong]. The stronger the expansion 
effect, the wider the range of brightnesses 
processed by the camera.
