Menu item details

Auto HDR: Exposure Diff. Auto (default setting):
Corrects the exposure difference automatically.
Auto HDR: Exposure Diff. 1.0EV ― Auto HDR: Exposure Diff. 6.0EV:
Sets the exposure difference, based on the contrast of the subject. Select the optimal level between 1.0 EV (weak) and 6.0 EV (strong).
For example, if you set the exposure value to 2.0 EV, three images will be composed with the following exposure levels; −1.0 EV, optimal exposure and +1.0 EV.
