High Dynamic Range (HDR)

Used with high-contrast subjects, High Dynamic Range (HDR) preserves details in highlights and shadows by combining two shots taken at different exposures. HDR is most effective when used with matrix metering (0 114; with spot or center-weighted metering and a non-CPU lens, an exposure differential of Auto is equivalent to about 2 EV). It can not be used to record NEF (RAW) images. Movie recording (0 49), flash lighting, bracketing (0 133), multiple exposure (0 209), and time-lapse photography (0 223) can not be used while HDR is in effect and shutter speeds of Aand &are not available.
