Cameras That Support Tone-Mode Selection

  • Pictures taken with HLG chosen for tone mode on cameras that support tone-mode selection have a high dynamic range (HDR). The technology used supports a wider range of tones (dynamic range) and is distinct from multi-exposure HDR capture, a high-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI) technique that blends multiple still photographs shot at different exposures. Pictures taken with SDR chosen for tone mode use the existing standard dynamic range (SDR).
    • Pictures taken with SDR selected for tone mode can be recorded in NEF (RAW) or JPEG.
    • Pictures taken with HLG selected for tone mode can be recorded in NEF (RAW) or HEIF.
  • NEF (RAW) pictures can be shot with either SDR or HLG selected for tone mode. The file extension in both cases is “.nef” but the dynamic range differs.
  • The following cameras support tone-mode selection:
    • Z 8
    • Z6III
    • Z f
