Use HDR Boost
When shooting portraits against a bright background, use HDR Boost, short for High Dynamic Range, to
capture your subjects clearly. HDR Boost brings out the details of both the highlights and shadows, even
in high contrast lighting.
Note: HDR Boost works best when your subject is steady. The camera takes multiple shots at different
exposure levels and combines them into one enhanced photo.
