Image for Dynamic Range

Dynamic Range

Dynamic range refers to the difference between the darkest and brightest parts of an image or scene. In photography and imaging, it measures how well a camera or display can capture or show details in both shadows (dark areas) and highlights (bright areas) simultaneously. A higher dynamic range means the device can reproduce a wider range of light levels, resulting in more realistic and detailed images. Essentially, it determines how well a system can handle contrasting lighting conditions without losing details in overly bright or dark areas.
