the contrast of light and shadow between the subject and the
background, producing the image with the optimal brightness
and gradation.
(Auto HDR) Shoots 3 images with different exposures, and then overlays
the correctly exposed image, the bright areas of an under
exposed image and the dark areas of an over exposed image
to create an image with rich gradation.

and an overlaid image.
