Dynamic range is the difference in light levels in an image. In some cases the difference between the darkest and the brightest
areas can be significant. The result is often an image where either the dark or the bright areas are visible. Wide dynamic range
(WDR) makes both dark and bright areas of the image visible.
Note
• WDR can cause artifacts in the image.
• WDR may not be available for all capture modes.
1. Go to Video > Image > Wide dynamic range.
2. Turn on WDR.
3. Use the Local contrast slider to adjust the amount of WDR.
4. Use the Tone mapping slider to adjust the amount of WDR.
5. If you still have problems, go to Exposure and adjust the Exposure zone to cover the area of interest.
