w: HDR (High Dynamic Range) ShootingN

You can shoot images preserving a wide tonal range where the highlight and shadow detail would otherwise be lost. HDR shooting is effective for landscape and still-life shots.

With HDR shooting, three images of different exposures (standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure) are captured for each shot and then merged together automatically. The HDR image is recorded as a JPEG image.

The higher the number, the wider the dynamic range will be.
