High Dynamic Range (HDR)

High Dynamic Range (HDR) combines two exposures to form a single image that
captures a wide range of tones from shadows to highlights, even with high-contrast
subjects.
HDR is most effective when used with L(Matrix metering) (062; with
other metering methods, a setting of vAuto is equivalent to TNormal).
It can
not be used to record NEF (RAW) images.
The flash can not be used while HDR is in
effect.
