Shooting High-Contrast Scenes

(High Dynamic Range)

Three consecutive images are captured at different brightness levels

each time you shoot, and the camera combines image areas with optimal

brightness to create a single image. This mode can reduce the washed-out

highlights and loss of detail in shadows that tends to occur in high-contrast

shots.
