“Contrast”, “dynamic range”, and “tonal
range” all refer to the range of brightness
between the brightest and darkest areas of
a scene. Our eyes adjust continuously,
allowing us to see detail in both bright
areas and deep shade. By comparison,
even the best cameras often fall short,
losing detail (“clipping”) in shadows,
highlights or even both.
Shooting RAW gives some chance of
recovering highlight and/or shadow detail
in post-processing. Active D-Lighting
(page 98) or D-Lighting (page 127) can
help with JPEG images. However, all have
their limits. Sometimes it’s simply
impossible to capture the entire brightness
range of a scene in a single exposure. Both

Creating Custom Picture Controls
You can create up to nine additional
Picture Controls, either in-camera or using
Nikon’s Picture Control Utility software (a
free download from Nikon websites).
Custom Picture Controls can be shared
with other Nikon DSLRs. For further details
see the D5300 Reference Manual and
Picture Control Utility’s Help menu.

number (e.g. “VIVID-02”) but you can
create a new name up to 19 characters
long. For entering text see page 124.

Control. The new Picture Control is now
