Optimum exposure and contrast in backlit situations

The enhanced D-Range Optimiser takes full advantage of the ExmorTM CMOS sensor’s wide dynamic range, obtaining richer shadow and highlight detail in backlit scenes. In Standard mode,

it assures more natural exposure balance by optimising brightness and contrast for the image overall. In Advanced mode, it analyses each area of the composition separately and offers fi ve optimisation levels for fi ner control. There’s also a new D-Range Optimiser bracketing function for convenient best-shot selection.

In addition, D-Range Optimiser post- processing can be applied to RAW fi les using supplied Image Data Converter SR software.
