Advanced Photo Mode makes difficult shooting methods easy
Advanced Photo Mode makes difficult techniques, such as overlapping images for a multi-exposure photo, easy. Simply set the mode dial to AP and select a shooting method.
Live Composite: Perfect for capturing light trails of stars or automobile lamps without the risk of overexposure.
Live Time: Captures faint light sources in dark locations. Light trails can also be captured. You can confirm your image as it is being recorded.
Multi Exposure: Overlapping two shots creates a dreamlike atmosphere in photos.
HDR: Captures photos with minimal highlight blowout and loss of shadow detail.
Silent: Turns off the shutter sound, autofocus sound (electronic sounds) and light from the camera. This mode is useful for situations where sound is inappropriate.
Panorama: Moving the camera horizontally/vertically while shooting creates a wide/tall panoramic shot.
Keystone Compensation: Adjusts for trapezoidal distortion which often occurs in photography of buildings or structures. Effects can be confirmed on the rear monitor prior to shooting.
AE Bracketing: Captures multiple photos of differing brightnesses so you can select your favourite.
Focus Bracketing: When focusing is difficult, this mode shifts the focal position and captures multiple shots. You can select your favourite shot after shooting.
