Using HDR

When shooting portraits against a bright background, use HDR, short for High Dynamic Range, to
capture your subjects clearly. HDR brings out the details of both the highlights and shadows, even in
high contrast lighting.
HDR works best when your subject is steady. The camera takes multiple shots at different
exposure levels and combines them into one enhanced photo.
