Samsung CX4 manual Dynamic Range Double Shot, Dynamic Range Expansion Effect

Dynamic Range Double Shot

“Dynamic range” refers to the range of brightnesses (tone levels) that can be expressed by the camera. Dynamic range double shot creates a smooth transition from highlights to shadows for natural contrast.

Note-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With dynamic range double shot, two consecutive pictures are taken with different exposures and then the areas with the appropriate exposure are combined together. This mode uses a longer shooting time than other modes, so be careful of camera shake when taking pictures. The Jsymbol is always displayed.

Caution---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•Dynamic range double shot may not be effective if the shooting location is overly bright or dark.

•We recommend that you select [Multi] for [Exposure Metering] (GP.74) in the shooting menu (GP.71) when using dynamic range double shot.

•When shooting a fast-moving subject, the subject may be distorted in the recorded image.

•Flicker from fluorescent lights may appear as horizontal bands. Fluorescent lighting may also affect colors and brightness.

Dynamic Range Expansion Effect

The [Dynamic Range Expansion] option in the shooting menu offers five levels of dynamic range expansion: [AUTO], [Very Weak], [Weak], [Medium], and [Strong]. The stronger the expansion effect, the wider the range of brightnesses processed by the camera.
