High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Used with high-contrast subjects, High Dynamic Range (HDR) preserves details in
highlights and shadows by combining two shots taken at different exposures.
HDR is
most effective when used with matrix metering (0 83; with other metering methods
and a non-CPU lens, a strength of v Auto is equivalent to T Normal).
It can not
be used to record NEF (RAW) images.
While HDR is in effect, movie recording
(0 161), flash lighting, bracketing (0 133), and multiple exposure (0 141) can not be
used and shutter speeds of Bulb (A) and Time (%) are not available.
