In other words, this is what you might expect when you would use this function. Remember, it is a real-life situation, not a controlled laboratory environment. This comparison is just to see if the increase in dynamic range works and how well it works. I have ignored any possible noise in the darkest parts of the image. Both images are unedited JPEG images, shot with manual setting, ISO 200, f/8, and 1/320 sec.Īs you can see, increasing the dynamic range in the camera will have a positive effect on the highlights in the image. Left side is shot with the normal settings on a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and the right side with the highlight tone priority (D+) turned on. I have mentioned all necessary information below every before/after image. On the left is the normal version, on the right is the increased dynamic range. Shooting JPEG With and Without the Enlarged Dynamic Range Option Activatedīelow, you can find the unedited jpg files, only made smaller to fit the internet. I needed to use ISO 200 for the Canon and ISO 800 for the Fujifilm. I shot both in raw and JPEG, first in the normal mode and second in the increased dynamic range mode, as mentioned above, the Highlight Tone Priority (D+) with the Canon, and the Dynamic Range (D400) with the Fujifilm. I went out and shot a series of images of situations with fairly large dynamic range. Instead of believing this without any doubt, I decided to do a test.įor this test, I used a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and a Fujifilm X100T. At least, that is what we all think, that by using raw sensor data, the highlight tone priority would have no effect. But does it also work when you are shooting in raw? After all, when you use raw images, you use the unedited sensor data. This is a screenshot from the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.Īn increase in dynamic range is nice, and it will help you to keep the brightest parts of your image within the dynamic range. The help function explains what the D+ highlight tone priority does and warns about increased noise levels.
