High Dynamic Range (Hdr) - Nikon D4 User Manual

High Dynamic Range (HDR)

Used with high-contrast subjects, High Dynamic Range (HDR)
preserves details in highlights and shadows by combining two
shots taken at different exposures. HDR is most effective when
used with matrix metering (0 123; with other metering methods
and a non-CPU lens, an exposure differential of Auto is equivalent
to about 2 EV). It can not be used to record NEF (RAW) images.
Movie recording (0 63), flash lighting (0 191), bracketing
(0 139), multiple exposure (0 210), and time-lapse photography
(0 223) can not be used while HDR is in effect and a shutter speed
of A is not available.
