Tip: HLG
Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) t
echnology was developed for television broadcasting and other high-
definition applications.
Compared with Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), it increases the amount of detail that can be
expressed in the upper half of the tone range for greater rendering potential.
It matches SDR in the level of detail that can be expressed in the lower portion of the tone range to
ensure compatibility with non-HDR displays.
Tip: Picture Controls
Photos shot with [SDR] selected for tone mode can be processed using the [Set Picture Control]
and [Manage Picture Control] items in the photo shooting menu.
Photos shot with [HLG] selected for tone mode can be processed using the [Set Picture Control
(HLG)] item in the photo shooting menu.
Tip: Viewing and Editing HLG Photos
HLG (HEIF) photos can be viewed and edited using Nikon’s NX Studio software.
NX Studio can be downloaded free of charge from the Nikon Download Center.
Some of the options available for editing HLG photos are more limited than is the case with photos
shot with [SDR] selected for tone mode.
