Taking a photo of a bright scene that also includes dark shadows? Use HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode. The camera captures multiple exposure levels and combines them into a single photo for vibrant colors and more detail in both light and dark areas.

HDR is best for:

• Landscapes with bright sky and shaded hills or foliage
• Outdoor portraits with lots of contrast
• Backlit scenes with dark shadows and streams of sunlight
• When both the camera and subject are stationary

Do not use HDR for:

• Action shots
• Low-light indoor photos
• When you want to use the flash or the front camera

When the camera detects a high contrast scene, it automatically goes into HDR mode, and HDR appears in the viewfinder. Consider whether HDR mode would improve the photo or not.
