In this shooting mode, four shots are taken consecutively for each picture, and the resulting one image with reduced camera shake is recorded.
Page 108: G Shooting Backlit Scenes
G Shooting Backlit Scenes When shooting a scene having both the bright and dark areas, use the <G> (HDR Backlight Control) mode. When you take one picture in this mode, three consecutive shots are taken at different exposures. This results in one image, with a wide tonal range, that has minimized the clipped shadows caused by backlighting.

Page 195 f: Changing the Depth of Field Shooting Tips When using an aperture with a high f/number or shooting in low  light scenes, note that camera shake can occur. A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower. Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a tripod.
