Right up till now, images taken with the specialist technique High Dynamic Range (HDR) have to be manually produced with the help of a tripod and photo editing software. Now, built-in Auto HDR mode on Sony's new a DSLR cameras broadens creative options by capturing a huge range of highlights and shadows in a single scene.
The DSLR camera takes two photos of the same scene: the first at brighter settings and the second at darker settings, after which these two photos are stitched together automatically by the camera in less than a few seconds. The result is a single natural-looking image with a high dynamic range featuring optimum shadow and highlight detail.
Thanks to Sony's unique positional interpolation technology, this mode overcomes slight changes in camera position and align individual shots so that a tripod is not required. The feature handles severe backlighting and other high-contrast scenes like looking out of the window in bright daylight, as well as interiors, landscapes and architectural landscapes.
