High Dynamic Range (HDR)

(P, S, A, and M Modes Only)

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 83; with other metering methods and a non-CPU lens, a strength of vAuto is equivalent to TNormal). It can not

be used to record NEF (RAW) images. While HDR is in effect, movie recording

(0 161), flash lighting, bracketing (0 133), and multiple exposure (0 141) can not be used and shutter speeds of Bulb (A) and Time (%) are not available.
