High Dynamic Range (HDR)
High Dynamic Range (HDR) combines two exposures to form a
single image that captures a wide range of tones from shadows to
highlights, even with high-contrast subjects. HDR is most effective
when used with matrix metering (
0 115; with other metering
methods, an exposure differential of Auto is equivalent to about
2 EV). It can not be used to record NEF (RAW) images. Movie
recording (
0 59), flash lighting, bracketing (0 132), multiple
exposure ( 0 195), and time-lapse photography (0 207) can not
be used while HDR is in effect and a shutter speed of A is not
available.
