How to use the iHDR feature.

Applicable Recording modes

When there is, for example, strong contrast between the background and the subject, [iHDR] records multiple still pictures with differing exposures and combines them to create a single still picture rich in gradation.

[iHDR] works automatically as needed. When activated, [HDR] will be displayed on the screen.

Turning on iHDR

Press [MENU] → [Intelligent Auto] / [Intelligent Auto Plus] → [iHDR] → [ON / OFF]
For models DMC-FZ300, DMC-G7, DMC-GF7, DC-ZS70
- Press [MENU] → [Rec] → [iHDR] → [ON] / [OFF]

Notes

The angle of view becomes narrow slightly
After the shutter button has been pressed, do not move the camera during the burst operation.
Since a burst of still pictures are combined after they have been recorded, it will be a few moments before you can record another picture.
In the case of composition from a burst, afterimages may appear if the subject was moving.
You cannot take the next picture until the combination of pictures is complete.
A moving subject may be recorded with unnatural blurs.
