Tips for Avoiding Overexposure
of an Image s Highlights
Preface
The human eye can capture bright colors of an image, such as a bouquet in a bright environment. This is because the human eye has a very wide dynamic range (the range of light levels that it can handle).
However, when the same bouquet is shot with a video camera, the bright areas of the image can be overexposed and washed out on the screen. For example, as shown in the Before Setting image, the white
petals and down are overexposed. This is because the luminance signal of the petals and down exceeds the camera s dynamic range.
In such situations, the picture can be reproduced without overexposure by compressing the signals of the image s highlight areas so they fall within the camera s dynamic range.
