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
L (Matrix metering) (0 68; 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. The flash can not be used
while HDR is in effect.
