Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() DRO is Dynamic Range Optimization (As Sony calls it). This feature was existing in the earlier Alphas but wasn't very useful. In the new Alphas, Sony has really made it a very interesting feature. This is a setting you can choose in any of the shooting modes. You can turn it off for normal everyday shots, or turn it on with 5 levels of DRO available depending upon the dynamic range you want to capture. This picture is taken in the highest setting, that is DRO level 5. ![]() This is how it would look when you shoot with DRO turned off. ![]() Imagine the processing you need to create a picture like the first one, without this feature! The camera also offers 5 levels of HDR - bracketing from 0.3 EV to 7 EV which will produce an in camera HDR jpeg. Canon & Nikon has got any similar features?

| ![]() Looks very good. But is that color cast because of WB or is that how DRO renders? |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Nikon has Active D-Lightning, not sure about other models but in D5100 it works brilliantly to preserve Highlight and Shadow detail. It's sensitivity can be changed for desired effect, with Active D-lightning set at max it gives results similar to the one you have posted here. BTW Nikon D7000 and D5100 share the same Sony sensor, same as Sony A580. D3100 has a Nikon sensor. Last edited by .anshuman : 7th December 2011 at 22:08. |

D7000 and D5100 has the same improved 16 megapixel sensor as in A35? May be D5100 has got it. In specs it says "Exmor APS HD CMOS Sensor" for A35. Last edited by clevermax : 7th December 2011 at 22:12. | |

But, the good part about Sony is that Sony is doing some good work and is getting noticed. Hopefully, the A-77 should put it in a very good position. EDIT: But this D-Lighting feature works on RAW or only on JPEGS? Last edited by HellwratH : 7th December 2011 at 22:12. | |
