Highlight detail and shadow detail are retained for a high dynamic range of tones even with high-contrast scenes. HDR shooting is effective for landscape and still-life shots. With HDR shooting, three images of different exposures (standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure) are captured for each shot and then merged together automatically. The HDR image is recorded as a JPEG image.
* HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

Effects
For images preserving a wide tonal range where the highlight and shadow details would otherwise be lost.
While the highlight and shadow details will be better preserved than with [Natural], the contrast will be lower, and the gradation flatter to have the picture look like a painting. The subject outlines will have bright (or dark) edges.
The colors are more saturated than with [Art standard], and the low contrast and flat gradation create a graphic art effect.
The colors are the most saturated, making the subject pop out, and the picture look like an oil painting.
The color saturation, brightness, contrast and gradation are decreased to make the picture look flat. The picture looks faded and old. The subject outlines will have bright (or dark) edges.
Art standard | Art vivid | Art bold | Art embossed | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Saturation | Standard | High | Higher | Low |
Bold outline | Standard | Weak | Strong | Stronger |
Brightness | Standard | Standard | Standard | Dark |
Tone | Flat | Flat | Flat | Flatter |
Caution
Each effect will be applied based on the characteristics of the Picture Style currently set.
