Unlike HDR, Hand-held NightScene mode is found under Scene modes rather than Filters.Īs you can see from the crops above, the image captured using Hand-held NightScene mode is acceptably sharp without noticeable blur from camera shake and less visible noise in areas of continuous tone than shooting at a high ISO setting alone. Fortunately, the S100 automatically aligns frames shoot in Hand-held NightScene in-camera which is crucial when holding the camera in-hand.

This works on the principle that noise is a random occurrence and therefore taking multiple exposures allows the camera to filter out the differences (noise) between frames. This shot was taken on a tripod with IS disabled.įunctioning much in the same way as auto HDR, Hand-held NightScene mode takes multiple exposures and blends them together in order to reduce visible noise. In this scene the S100 has reconstructed an image with a decent amount of dynamic range without overdoing it. However if the in-camera JPEGs are not to your liking, the S100 also features AEB (automatic exposure bracketing) in raw mode which allows you to create your own HDR images with your favorite software. Motion from camera shake is also recorded as a double imageĭespite this, the S100 produces decent HDR images that are fairly natural and represent a wide dynamic range without appearing 'cartoonish'. Moving subjects are rendered as a double image

Unfortunately, moving subjects are not cloned out as you can see from the moving truck on the left (see 100% crop, below). When shot in-hand visible ghosting occurs. HDR mode must be shot with the assistance of a tripod with IS disabled as the S100 does not perform any in-camera alignment of frames. It is also very important to remember to disable IS when shooting on a tripod or ghosting will still be a problem. Unlike some other cameras that offer this mode, the S100 does not do any in-camera aligning of the separate exposures and therefore requires that the camera be on a tripod while shooting in this mode. Unfortunately, if there is any movement while the shots are being taken (either from the camera or the subject) visible ghosting will occur.

HDR mode in the S100 works by taking a series of 3 images at different exposures and combines them to create a single image with a higher dynamic range than would otherwise be possible from a single shot. This feature can be accessed from the Filters mode on the mode dial.

The S100 includes a special mode for shooting HDR (High Dynamic Range) images. The S100 also incorporates a GPS module for geo-tagging and logging - a feature that is becoming more popular in enthusiast-oriented compact cameras.

Besides being a competent manual shooter, the S100 also comes with a useful array of automatic and special shooting features like HDR and Hand-held NightScene that add functionality as well as serving to simplify operation for less experienced photographers.
