Photo wide D-range setting

By using the photo wide D-range feature, even in an image comprised of both
bright and dark subjects, all the subjects will be captured at a natural
brightness level. For example, when a strong backlight is created, as can
occur when photographing in bright surroundings, a subject in a bright
background appears completely white. Furthermore, the details of dark areas
created by the shadows of a backlight are normally obscured in blackness.
Shooting with the photo wide D-range function smoothly adjusts the
brightness levels from light areas to dark areas.
