Lumix hdr

Hi, I have g6 gx8 & gh4. I thouht I would like to have a look at the HDR functions on each.

Went to the menu of each but this function is greyed out on the menu of each camera. Searched the provided manuals but could not find a workable solution to activate them.

How can I resolve this? Is the option only available in certain modes?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Lumix hdr

Are you shooting in raw format?

HDR takes 3 pictures and combines them. This setting is available in most modes. On the Other hand, iHDR or "intelligent" HDR is more of an auto setting usable only in iA or iA+ modes.

Re: Lumix hdr

Well that's it!! I was shooting raw so no access to HDR. I may have missed it but I did not find reference to this criteria in the two refference pages in the supplied manuals.

So simple that it makes you feel like a goose!

Thank you for your help.
