Photo wide D-range setting

By using the photo wide D-range feature, even in an image comprised of both bright and dark subjects, all the subjects will be captured at a natural brightness level. For example, when a strong backlight is created, as can occur when photographing in bright surroundings, a subject in a bright background appears completely white. Furthermore, the details of dark areas created by the shadows of a backlight are normally obscured in blackness. Shooting with the photo wide D-range function smoothly adjusts the brightness levels from light areas to dark areas.
