Dynamic Range

Dynamic Range (n.) The range of light intensities a camera can capture in a single exposure, from the darkest shadows to the brightest highlights. Mobile phone cameras typically have a more limited dynamic range compared to larger cameras due to their smaller sensors. To overcome this, many smartphones use HDR (High Dynamic Range) techniques to capture and combine multiple exposures, effectively increasing the dynamic range of the final image and preserving details in both bright and dark areas.
