w: HDR (High Dynamic Range) ShootingN
When shooting HDR images with [ Auto Image Align] set to [Enable], 
AF point display information (p.352)  and Dust Delete Data (p.405) will 
not be appended to the image.
 If you perform handheld HDR shooting with [ Auto Image Align] set to 
[ Enable ], image periphery will be slightly trimmed and resolution will be 
slightly lowered. Also, if the images cannot be aligned properly due to 
camera shake, etc., auto image alignment may not take effect. Note that 
when shooting with excessively bright (or dark) exposure settings, auto 
image alignment may not work properly.
 If you perform handheld HDR shooting with [ Auto Image Align] set to 
[ Disable ], the 3 images may not be properly aligned and the HDR effect 
may be minimal. Using a tripod is recommended.
 Auto image alignment may not work properly with repetitive patterns 
(lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.
 The color gradation of the sky or white walls may not be reproduced 
correctly. Irregular exposure, irregular colors, or noise may appear.
 HDR shooting under fluorescent or LED lighting may result in unnatural 
color reproduction of the illuminated areas.
 With HDR shooting, it takes some time to record images to the card 
since they are merged after shooting. During the processing of the 
images, “ buSY” will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel, 
and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed.
 If you change the shooting mode or switch to movie shooting after setting 
HDR shooting, HDR shooting setting may be cleared ([ Adjust dyn 
range ] setting may be switched to [ Disable HDR]).

Average
Based on the [No. of exposures], negative exposure compensation 
is set automatically as you shoot  multiple exposures. If you shoot 
multiple exposures of  the same scene, the expos ure of the subject’s 
background will be automatically controlled to obtain the standard 
exposure.

During continuous shooting, the  continuous shooting speed will 
decrease greatly.
 Only the merged multiple-exposure image will be saved. The images 
taken in steps 6 and 7 for the multiple-exposure image will not be saved.
 The image-recording quality, ISO speed, Picture Style, high ISO speed 
noise reduction and color space, etc. set for the first single exposure will 
also be set for the subsequent exposures.
 You cannot set an aspect ratio for multiple-exposure shooting. Images 
will be taken with a 3:2 aspect ratio.
 If WB bracketing, Multi Shot Noise Reduction, HDR mode, or a Creative 
filter is set, multiple-exposure shooting cannot be set.
 During multiple-exposure shooting, the settings of [ z1: Lens 
aberration correction ], [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer ], and [z3: 
Highlight tone priority ] will be automatically switched to [ Disable].
 If [z 3: Picture Style ] is set to [Auto], [Standard ] will be applied for 
shooting.
 With multiple exposures, the more exposures there are, the more 
noticeable the noise, irregular colors,  and banding will be. Also, as noise 
increases with higher ISO speeds,  shooting at low ISO speeds is 
recommended.
 If [Additive ] is set, the image processing after taking the multiple 
exposures will take time. (The access lamp will light up longer.)
 If you perform Live View shooting with [ Additive] set, the Live View 
function will stop automatically when the multiple-exposure shooting 
ends.
 In step 7, the brightness and noise of the multiple-exposure image 
displayed during Live View shooting will be different from the final 
multiple-exposure image recorded.
 Multiple-exposure shooting will be canceled if the power switch is set to 
 or if you switch to movie shooting.
 If you switch the shooting mode to a Basic Zone mode, < w>, or < x> 
during shooting, multiple-exposure shooting will end.
 If you connect the camera to a computer, multiple-exposure shooting will 
not be possible. If you connect the camera to a computer during 
shooting, multiple-exposure shooting will end.
You can press the  button to view the multiple exposures taken so far 
or delete the last single exposure (p.217).

Can I merge images recorded on the card?
With [Select image for multi. expo.], you can select the first single 
exposure from the images recorded on the card (p.216). Note that 
you cannot merge multipl e images already recorded on the card.
Are multiple exposures possible with Live View shooting?
You can shoot multiple exposures with Live View shooting (p.255).
Will auto power off take effect during multiple-exposure 
shooting?
As long as [52: Auto power off] is set to any setting other than 
[
Disable], the timing for auto power off to automatically take effect 
will all become after approx. 30 min. of idle time. If the auto power off 
takes effect, multiple-exposure shooting will end,  and multiple-
exposure settings will be canceled.
Before starting the multiple-exposure shooting, the auto power off 
will take effect at the time set with the camera, and multiple-
exposure settings will be canceled.

Camera vibrations caused by the mirror’s reflex action when the picture 
is taken is called “mirror shock” . Mirror lockup keeps the mirror up 
before and during exposure to reduce blur caused by camera 
vibrations. Useful when shooting cl ose-ups (macro photography), using 
a super telephoto lens, and shooting at slow shutter speeds.
1Set [Mirror lockup] to [Enable].
Under the [z4] tab, select [Mirror 
lockup
], then press .
Select [Enable], then press .
2Focus on the subject, then press 
the shutter button completely.
The mirror will swing up.
3Press the shutter button 
completely again.
The picture is taken and the mirror 
goes back down.
2  Mirror Lockup N
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an 
intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the 
camera’s internal components.
In very bright light, such as at the beach or a ski slope on a sunny day, take 
the picture promptly after mirror lockup is stabilized.
If you use the self-timer and bulb exposure in combination with a mirror 
lockup, keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer delay time + 
bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button during the self-timer 
countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound, but no picture will be taken.
During mirror lockup, shooting function settings and menu operations, etc. are 
disabled. 
						

							Using the Eyepiece Cover

Even if the drive mode is set to co ntinuous shooting, only one shot can 
be taken.
 You can also use the self-timer with mirror lockup.
 If approx. 30 sec. elapse after the mirror is locked up, it will go back down 
automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the 
mirror again.
 When shooting with mirror lockup, using a tripod and Remote Switch 
RS-60E3 (sold s eparately, p.221) is recommended.
 You can also use a remote controller (sold separately, p.221) with mirror 
lockup. Setting the remote controller to a 2-sec. delay is recommended.
Using the Eyepiece Cover
When you take a picture without look ing through the viewfinder, such as 
when you use the self-timer, bulb ex posure, or a remote switch, stray 
light entering the viewfinder can cause the picture to look dark. To 
prevent this, use the eyepiece cove r (p.33) attached to the camera 
strap.
During Live View shooting and movie  shooting, attaching the eyepiece 
cover is unnecessary.
 1Detach the eyecup.
Push the bottom of the eyecup to 
detach it.
2Attach the eyepiece cover.
Slide the eyepiece cover down into 
the eyepiece groove to attach it.
After you finish shooting, detach the 
eyepiece cover and attach the 
eyecup.
