What are the HDR settings?
The term HDR, or High Dynamic Range, is referring to the combining of multiple images, taken at different exposure values. The goal of this process is to preserve information in the highlighted and shaded areas of the image and make it appear more like the experience of what is seen with the human eye. For a breakdown of all options available for the HDR settings please review them below:
External (Ricoh)
This mode uses the native HDR processing of the Ricoh Theta Z1. This mode is faster than the other modes by a few seconds per scan and the resulting images have less contrast.
-5EV/+2EV (iGUIDE)
This mode uses iGUIDE's take on exposure fusion and is intended for use in indoor spaces with bright highlights and dark shadows. This mode is a great choice for almost all scans whether they be of interiors or exteriors. It has excellent contrast and detail in the highlights.
-1EV/+1EV (iGUIDE)
This mode is similar to the previous mode but has less extreme bracketing. It is excellent for outdoor use where there are less extreme highlights and shadows.
-3EV/+3EV (iGUIDE)
This mode may be your best choice when shooting spaces with challenging highlights and shadows. It is more balanced than 'iGUIDE -5 +2' and may be preferable in some situations.
Off
This mode disables HDR processing. This is an excellent choice for spaces that have no noticeable highlights and shadows or where visual data in those areas doesn’t matter. This mode is significantly faster than all other modes.
Important Notes
- Please note that changing the HDR settings may affect the processing speed of all shots after the change has been made.
