DWDR Menu

DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) Menu

You can change and set the way that the camera captures and represents different lighting conditions.

LEVEL: The higher you set the LEVEL, the more dynamic your images can be. It works by changing how the camera interprets data from the CCD (the actual image sensor). If this setting is low, then bright areas will have a tendency to “white out” while shadows will do the opposite and “black out”. The higher you set the DWDR, then the more the camera will attempt to compensate for this, and you should get more detail in dynamic lighting scenarios.

In some cases, setting the DWDR Level too high can degrade the quality of your images, as the camera may try overcompensating when it doesn’t need to.
