Use a flash

Use HDR in high-contrast lighting
Taking a photo of a bright scene that also includes dark shadows? Use HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode.

To set HDR mode (off, always on, or auto mode), touch on the viewfinder.
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
