Display Name Description
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.
WIDE 1 Takes the picture with the dynamic range set to 230% regardless of the scene being shot.
WIDE 2 Takes the picture with the dynamic range set to 400% regardless of the scene being shot.
