WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE (WDR)

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) retains a greater level of detail in the dark and
bright areas of an image. The result is a photo that is properly exposed for
both of these extremes. This setting is especially useful for scenes that are
backlit or that have large bright regions and a dark foreground.

WDR is available only for the Photo capture mode and only when RAW
Format is turned off. The options for this setting are Off (default) and On.
To access this advanced setting, see

Navigating with the Touch Display

(page 17).

RAW FORMAT

When this setting is turned on, all photos are captured with an
accompanying .jpg image for immediate viewing on your camera or sharing
with the Capture app. RAW photos are saved as .gpr files, which are based
on the Adobe .dng format. These files can be used in Adobe Camera Raw
(ACR), version 9.7 or later. You can also use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
CC (2015.7 release or later) and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 (version
6.7 or later).

RAW Format is available only for the Photo capture mode and only when
Wide Dynamic Range is turned off. RAW Format is not available when
capturing Continuous photos (that is, when holding down the Shutter
button in Photo capture mode) or for Linear FOV.

The options for this setting are Off (default) and On. To access this
advanced setting, see

Navigating with the Touch Display

(page 17).

PRO TIP: Photos in .gpr format are captured in the same location and with
the same file name as .jpg files. To access them, insert your microSD card
into a card reader and locate the files with your computer’s file explorer.
