High dynamic range photography is a way of expressing the entire range
from dark to bright areas by capturing multiple images with different
exposures (underexposed, properly exposed (standard), and
overexposed), and combining them into a single image.
This section explains how to set HDR Capture and p mode.
HDR Capture is available regardless of the mode dial setting (except in
some capture modes). It creates a single composite image from three
different exposures (-3 EV, standard exposure, and +3 EV).
1 Press the M button in standby mode.
