Dynamic Range Dynamic range refers to the ratio between the darkest and brightest tones in an image, representing the range of luminance values that can be captured or displayed. In photography, dynamic range describes the ability of a camera sensor to accurately capture and reproduce details in both shadow and highlight areas of a scene.
A camera with high dynamic range can capture a wide range of tones, from deep shadows to bright highlights, without losing detail or becoming overexposed or underexposed. Dynamic range is influenced by factors such as sensor sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, and image processing capabilities. Cameras with higher dynamic range are capable of producing images with greater detail, contrast, and tonal range, making them ideal for capturing scenes with high contrast or challenging lighting conditions. |
