It\u2019s a phrase we hear over and over in photography – high dynamic range, the sensor\u2019s dynamic range – but what exactly is dynamic range and why is it important to understand how it affects your photography?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, let\u2019s start with the fact that all audio and visual sensing devices have a dynamic range. That includes our very own eyes and ears. In visual terms, dynamic range is the ratio between the minimum and maximum light levels that a particular sensor can measure. In the case of our eyes, that range is immense – we can determine a vast amount of tones but not the full range. Imagine sitting in a dark room with one large window and a very bright sunny view outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you look at the view, your eyes will not see anything in the room, it will be too dark. Conversely, if you look inside the room, the view outside will be too bright to decipher anything. This is demonstrating the dynamic range of your eyes. Your camera sensor, unfortunately, has significantly less dynamic range than your eyes, but by understanding it we can deal with lighting that exceeds the dynamic range of our camera sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Is Dynamic Range?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
