Nikon D5500 - Manual (Page 159)

135 P, S, A, and M Modes
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) (0 125). It can
not be used to record NEF (RAW) images. While HDR is in effect,
the flash can not be used and continuous shooting is not
available.
