Expanding the Dynamic Range
Dynamic range is the ratio that indicates the light level expressed by
the CMOS sensor pixels from bright areas to dark areas. The larger
it is, the better the whole range from dark to bright areas will appear
in the picture.
By expanding the dynamic range, you can expand the light level
expressed by the CMOS sensor pixels, making it more difficult for
bright area to occur in the image.
To expand the dynamic range, make the settings in [D-Range
Setting] of the [1_ Rec. Mode 3] menu. (p.207)
