From deepest shadows to brightest highlights.
Shooting with the typical digital camera means constantly navigating between losing detail in "blown out" highlights and losing detail in "crushed" blacks. The DSC-R1 boasts an image sensor some 12 times the typical size.
So you get extraordinary dynamic range from the blackest blacks to the brightest white. Your pictures will pack the punch of powerful contrast, along with the grace and subtlety of highlight and shadow detail.
