this is a shot i just took, hand held, using the HDR setting on my new camera. i set it to bracket 3 images, +/- 3 EV.
now, as i said hand held, but a decent shutter speed(1/200th/sec), to ensure sharpness, but there's no way i can hand hold it perfectly still for 3 shots.
and that's where the camera does its thing and aligns the images for me. this is what it produces, the three shots all in one,and only as a jpeg:
