HDR

P1 What is an HDR image?

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and means taking a series of images with different exposures, from light to dark, i.e. overexposed to underexposed, in quick succession.

This series of exposures is then merged into an HDR photo, which contains the best of each individual photo with different exposures. By putting together parts from overexposed, underexposed and balanced photos, expressive, “dramatic” pictures are created with beautifully balanced shadows and lights! That simply means, that you can take and display more exposure information with HDR images than it would be possible with a single photo using conventional image sensors.

Many cameras have already the option to select getting an HDR image when triggering the release buttom. The camera will produce automatically an HDR outcome of your selected image.
