I noticed that the Nikon D5100 has an in camera HDR mode so I wanted to give it a try since I am not that good at HDR.
I know this doesn't relate to DSLR video, but I think HDR is helpful in learning about shadow and highlights so that is why I included this tutorial on HDR.
Since I have Photomatix Pro I also compared it to that as well.
To be honest since I am not that good at HDR yet, I kinda think that the in camera HDR did a better job than I did.

Just got this D5100 for Christmas a little upgrade from the D3100 for me. Thank you so much Dave for explaining and showing this HDR how to set it up and how it works I am off now to your web site to have a look at those photos cheers
@abhi8384 in fact, I am a starter too ;) yes, the lens is good for indoor and outdoor too... maybe you just need to turn your lens switch from "M" to "M/A" in order to switch it to autofocus. Try different autofocus modes (AF-S,AF-C or AF-A), or different AF area modes (Single-point AF area mode, Dynamic-area AF, 3D-tracking (11 points) or Auto-area AF. Before shooting don't forget to press the shutter button (only partially) to focus first.
Live View with the articulated screen makes high and low angle photography very easy. Without this feature you would either be down on the ground trying to look through the viewfinder or would need a right angle viewfinder adapter.
@abhi8384 Another possible reason is HDR only works on JPG files, not on RAW files. Maybe if you change your options on: Shooting Menu-Image quality-JPEG fine, normal or basic.
I think flip-screen is not only for video but for still photos with different angles, also when you want to get yourself in the photo. It is not condition to have vary angle screen with full video control.
@TheodoreTDT yeah HDR isn't available in RAW because a RAW image is only what the sensor see so all 3 pic`s would look the same
It is worth noting that the HDR menu is only available in the dependent modes (M,A,S, or P)
@sladjanvasic try playing with aperture/shutterspeed/exposure compensation.
@sfu421 Or just use lowest ISO setting as possible. I usually shoot with ISO 100 to reduce the amount of noise dramatically. And then asdjust the shutterspeed or aperture instead.
@yaudtube I was wondering the same thing. Maybe I'm missing something simple - I just bought the 5100 and haven't had much time to play around with it, but..mine will only take two pictures in HDR mode. I've been trying to figure out how to get three.
does canon T3i have HDR?
you are a gentleman, tahnks for taking the time to share your skills.
@abhi8384 I'm glad it helped. If you have any other question we can share/answer it here; I am learning a lot these days about the Nikon 5100, I'm just loving it!
I just figured out that one can accidentally disable the easy HDR mode if you have selected auto-exposure bracketing elsewhere. It comes back to life again when you turn exposure bracketing off again. ( I button, bkt in the bottom right ). HDR only works in P, A, S, and M.
THanks for the tutorial. But why didn't you just turn off self timer if you didn't want the long wait?
By the way, for some reason my nikon won't let me go to Shooting Menu... It says the camera cannot, at it's "current state" or something.
@andrw24 Did you set the camera in live view? You will hear three shots, but there's still only two shots for the hdr because when you shoot in live view mode you always hear two shots. I'm not sure though...
nice video.
At D5100, what is the difference between HDR, Multiple Exposure and Auto Bracketing?
I think I figured it out. You have to be in one of the P/S/A/M and can't be using RAW format. (Have to have JPEG selected.)
@alexmottram07 sounds gr8, I am veryyy much new to photography! I am sure I can learn lots of stuff here :)
last night I tried using 55-200mm lens but for distant objects I got only blur images while for closer objects it gave me amazing clearity and effects ! would you be able to tell me why is that ? Is the same lens good for indoor or outdoor photography ?
No it takes 2, I had the same question, what is happening is that the mirror locks up to enable live view mode and falls down again when the process is completed. It happens even when taking a single shot. Thus giving an appearance of 1 more shot. hope that helps.. :)
@cornbits311 I had the very same problem, but... All you have to do is to reset the Shooting Menu! (Shooting Menu/Reset shooting menu/yes)...
i found one stuck pixel ont he LCD screen, should i take it back?
@m3g1 If you chose to shoot and record RAW images, HDR would be not available. So get back to the menu and choose to shoot with JPEG only :D hope this helps
@cornbits311 I'm guessing you were shooting in RAW format. I had the same problem last night and realized that you have to be shooting in JPEG or it won't work.
@GamerRadar Maybe all you have to do is reset the Shooting Menu first...
One problem with D5100, there is not a lot of control. You have to go to menu and turn thin on and then use it, which is quite difficult to do every single time, you want to use a feature, for example timer. There are only 2 short cut keys but functions are a lot.
thanks so much..almost frustrating! why i can't switch when it's in RAW...
Can you tell me what the settings have to be on the d5100 to use the hdr mode? I'm not able to select it.. it says, it can not be used in the current settings.
Dave I got a question for you ,on my Nikon D5100 has an option on menu "High ISO NR" what is that for? Thanks.
@vrie8 hey I have the same problem as "urinmyhart" has. I tried M mode but it doesnt work. I think there'es something wrong with my camera. I don't have some of the options that you have on yours. I keep getting the "THIS OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE AT CURRENT SETTINGS OR IN THE CAMERA'S CURRENT STATE" message...???
In HDR mode it makes it himself i think, and he uses the photomatix pro software to adjust the contrast and other setting, but i'm not sure. Sorry if i'm wrong. My friend has a Nikon D5100 i will try it out and i'll be back with a right answer :)).
@HomeStudioMovies Make sure to render in JPEG, not in RAW.
Hello, Thanks for a tutorial. However, I still have one dilemma. After taking a HDR photo, on your live preview display, photo still looks like overexposed trough the window. Do you need to some additional software or something to get final HDR as you are presented as "HDR in Camera" ?
I have the same camera, and in the camera display I'm also not satisfied with it. But I'm never transfer it to PC to check :/ ...
Is that just a display "error" or it needs more editing ?
Thanks ;)
how can i use my hdr in d5100 it says that "this option is not available at current settings or in cameras current state".
thanks for this info
.... been trying to figure it out for quite a long time, u've helped me a lot!
@SpaceDyeVest yup thats right it wont work in RAW format.. i just read the manual haha..
@IsaSartor Hi, I think Nikon D5100 is much better than D7000 and Canon 7D for video recording.
Well, in the camera store they also didnt know how to put the self timer on 2 seconds.
And I agree, in terms of convenient settings the d5100 can be a pain in the ass. The EOS600D is much easier to handle but unfortunately has no HDR. Here you depend on photoshop.
can someone tell me how to enable auto focus in video mode?
@urinmyhart I am facing the same issue mate ! have you found solution yet?
thnx in Advance !
@HomeStudioMovies I had the very same problem, but... I just found the solution!!! All you have to do is to reset the Shooting Menu! (Shooting Menu/Reset shooting menu/yes)...
hey ! everytime I put my D5100 to manual mode and I wanna change the aperture it doesnt work , it keeps changing the " SHUTTER SPEED " instead ,, how to change aperture ?
do u need photoshop to merge the photos taken with 3 different exposures????
I read the manual of D5100 and it says it only take 2 shots in HDR mode. How come your video shows THREE shots? Thanks
They don't have the same sensor, D5100 has the same sensor as the D7000. Also, D5100 has continuous AF while you shoot video. There are more AF points in D5100, it also has external mic input or whatever and I can't remember anything else right now but there are also some effects and the ISO range is larger on D5100. Just google "D5100 VS. D3100" and you'll have all the answers.
Hi there, how come that my HDR setting can't be turned on my D5100? It says"THIS OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE AT CURRENT SETTINGS OR IN THE CAMERA'S CURRENT STATE" Thanks for answering :)
Does anyone know how to use bracketing (not just the in camera) or histograms with the Nikon d5100?
What a great tutorial.
Thanks ever so much for this, and keep up the great work you produce.
-Matt
You can set the fn button to activate HDR mode with one click.
Can we do HDR Video in the D5100?
that is f****** beautiful! awesome function, im gonna get this camera in about a month
hey my camera isn;t on raw and its on JPEG normal, HDR option is still unavailable, do you know how i might be able to get it to work? thanks! :)
@IsaSartor 7D better for video
N51000 here..so i appears under the HRD on the menu it can only be a jpeg shot..any manual away to get three shots in Raw??
Why?... You can simply use the raw file later to make an HDR. That contains all the information.
eniggy7 just shoot in bracket mode
@alexmottram07 that didnt help me ! still gives the same message !
any other solutions ?
I'm garbage with photomatix pro so this will be very useful, thanks!
When i shoot in the hdr mode it only takes 2 shots. Can someone please tell me how to make it take 3 shots like it does in the video? Thanks.
Does anybody know why the camera takes 3 shots whilst in LiveView-Mode, and only 2 shots whilst using the manual viewfinder?
@christina are your battery not fully charged?
You can change the timer time, by going into the custom settings menu, then Timers/AE Lock, then scroll down to self-timer. There, you can change the timer time. You're welcome!
on my d5100 the hdr mode only take 2 pictures, the one in this video takes 3, why is that?
@m3g1 I had the very same problem, but... I just found the solution!!! All you have to do is to reset the Shooting Menu! (Shooting Menu/Reset shooting menu/yes)...
what about its digital zoom???
hi Dave are u migrating to NIKON now?!
how do you turn on your HDR on.. im wont turn on.
@totoni2000 not built in HDR.
There isn't a need then for HDR software?
will not work in RAW.. had to change to jpeg.. hope it helps

I put HRD on my function button on the left side of the flash - Easy to reach!
There is only 2 picture !!! just read the manual! the 3. noise what u hear its not the 3. expo, its just a mirror coz u rae in live view! sorry for my poor language im hungarian.And if im wrong somebody correct me pls
I had bracketing on .. so when i turned that off, it worked perfectly...
@alexmottram07 lovely, Now I can select HDR :)
Thanks for your help mate :)
great tutorial, thanks !!!! :)
does not work with any option i choose
Helpful thanks
@playmyyoyo Thanks alot Dave!
D5100 in HDR only takes 2 photos , he thinks his is taking 3 because he is using Live View , the 3rd one is only the mirror flipping back up
If u do the same thing not in live view u will hear 2 expo i tried i have the same camera!
Stick with the 550D pleaase!! :)
THANKS DUDE.
So D5100 is basically D3100 with tilt screen, and it has a HDR feature, when D3100 doesn't? Why is that :\ I mean it's firmware thing, not hardware, hardware-wise they are pretty much same.
Uh, is it me or does the Photomatix version look better? To me, it had the better indoor highlights.
Zoom out while on the pic and choose the ones you want to delete.
sir nikon d5300 no on hdr
interesting. thanks!
Yeah sorry, i had no idea what i'm talking about back then lol. It's different camera actually.
Thanks man
