[AUTO]: The camera automatically varies the dynamic range between 100% and 400% according to the scene being shot before taking the picture. This mode suppresses white flaring and black patches in scenes with high contrast while also enabling you to achieve good levels of contrast in pictures taken indoors or in cloudy weather where a wide dynamic range is not needed.

[ 100%], [ 200%], [ 400%]:

Takes the picture with a fixed dynamic range value, regardless of the scene being shot.

CAUTION

•When dynamic range is set to 200 % or 400 %, some

[ISO] settings cannot be selected. Also, some[DYNAMIC RANGE] settings may not be selectable depending on the [ ISO] setting.

•Only [AUTO] can be selected for the [ DYNAMIC RANGE] setting while [ TOP 12] or [ FINAL 12] is set.

•Only [AUTO] can be selected for the [ DYNAMICRANGE] setting while [ FinePix COLOR] is set to [ p-CHROME].

•Although wider dynamic range settings will allow you to take pictures with good levels of contrast, they will also increase the amount of speckling in your images.

Choose the dynamic range setting that best suits the conditions.
