K 2-12 Metering and Exposure
High Dynamic Range (HDR)
The camera varies exposure over a series of shots, selects from each tone range
with the highest level of detail, and combines them to create a single picture with a
wide dynamic range. If the photo features a high-contrast subject, details that would
otherwise be lost in shadows or highlights will be preserved.
