settings you can use to help you

capture the level of highlight and

shadow detail you want. In addition,

there’s a D-Range Optimizer bracketing

function that records images at three

different optimization levels to allow

best-shot selection.

D-Range Optimizer for rich tone

gradations in high-contrast light

When photographing scenes that

contain extremes of light and shadow,

it can be difﬁcult to capture the full

range of tonal gradations that the

human eye can see. But with the

900’s D-Range Optimizer function,

the camera analyzes the scene for

you, and automatically adjusts

gradation reproduction parameters to

assure optimum exposure balance,

with richer highlight and shadow detail.

In Standard mode, the D-Range

Optimizer analyzes the overall image

before performing the optimization,

and in Advanced mode,

it analyzes

each area of the composition

separately. On the 900, improved

algorithms provide even better

performance, with a choice of

Advanced Auto and Advanced Level

3 high-precision metering modes

for greater shooting versatility

The 900 is equipped with a 40-segment

honeycomb-pattern metering sensor that

uses advanced algorithms to ensure

balanced exposures under a wide range

of lighting conditions. A convenient 3-way

switch on the back of the camera allows

you to choose between 40-segment

honeycomb-pattern metering, center-

weighted metering, or spot metering

according to your shooting needs.

Versatile white balance settings

for superior color in any light

The 900’s versatile range of white

balance settings can be instantly

accessed via a button on the top of

the camera. In addition to Auto white

balance mode there are user-tunable

presets for Daylight, Shade, Cloudy,

Tungsten, Fluorescent, and Flash

lighting, as well as an adjustable

Color Temperature mode and three

user-conﬁgurable Custom modes.

White balance bracketing, which

records a single frame at three

different white balance settings, can

also be set via the Drive mode menu

for easy best-shot selection.

Exposure effect simulation

Another advanced function introduced

for the ﬁrst time on the 900 is

Intelligent Preview. Using this function,

you can simulate the effect of various

D-Range Optimizer, exposure

compensation, and white balance

settings, and display the result on the

LCD monitor without actually taking a

picture. It’s a great way to ﬁne-tune

image adjustments in advance when

working with a tripod and complex

shooting setups.

Quick access to exposure modes.

Standard exposure modes accessible

from the top-mounted mode dial

include Program Auto, Aperture

priority, Shutter-speed priority,

Manual, and Auto.

Exposure bracketing up to ±2EV

for secure “best-shot” capture

Exposure bracketing can be set via

the Drive mode button to enable best-

shot selection from a series of images.

In keeping with the 900’s high

performance standards, the range of

selectable options includes 3-frame or

5-frame bracketing in 0.3EV, 0.5EV,

or 0.7EV increments, as well as new

3-frame ±2EV bracketing that makes

it easy to create stunningly realistic

high dynamic range composite images.
