Canon Tech Tips with Rudy Winston: Understanding HDR Mode
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2023
- This Tech Tip dives into what we might think of as “conventional” High Dynamic Range imaging, within your Canon EOS camera. It’s available for video and still images and generates a finished, final image with added tonal details in bright and dark areas of a scene. There are actually multiple HDR options in some EOS R-series mirrorless cameras, and this episode gets you started with the first of these choices.

Cool. I can’t wait for the HDR PQ mode and how it works with DPP and a compatible HDR monitor
Great feature and explanation!
Rudy can you use ef-s lenses and still get the same autofocus to work correctly or do you need the R lenses . I know you have to use an adapter to get those other lenses to work but I'm curious as to all the autofocus and I control what they work just as good with lenses that are not designed for the mirrorless cameras
I have tried HDR PQ on my R7. Saves photos in the HEIF format (.HIF file). It turns out to be a huge pain. I import in Apples Photos. Now Apple uses HEIF with their iPhones so I figured all would go great. But no it is not. Seems like Canon implementation is not compatible. The Photos app, Mac or iPad, can open the canon files but after edits, rendering of the picture is messed up (looks like some color mapping is wrong). And from there whatever format I export the picture from Apple Photos, the colours remain messed up. So then I tried taking that file to the Canon app and it also have issues. All in all Canon must either fix their implementation so their file is compatible with the apps out there, and Apple Photos is the no 1 for that file format, or remove the features. It is a lots of pain. I will revert to CRAW+JPEG for now. Now I know, this video is not about HDR PQ but rather HDR Mode, but it mentions a coming HDR PQ video which never happened and I think this is the reason why, HDR PQ is junk as it is, so they would rather not talk about it.
Hi, Martin! We recommend running this by your fellow Canon users in the Canon Community Forum. A number of regular users have a mind for this kind of stuff and they can help you figure out a solution for any snags you might be encountering with your RAW files. Sign up and post today at canon.us/forum
Hope this helps!
@@CanonUSA Thanks for the reply. I looked at the forum but there is essentially nothing on HDR PQ. It seems nobody use the feature. The reason is probably that there is no way to have a functional workflow with the HEIF files that are produced. Since Apple perfectly support such a workflow with their now iPhone cameras that use the HEIF format I expected to work fine on my apple devices. But the files produces by Canon HDRPQ are broken, they fail to work. For now I give up. I was hoping that this would be a have high quality still out of camera without having to process RAW files. In particular 10bit colours. It is not working. I will with for the HDR PQ video that Winston said would come. Such half-baked technology is very disappointing.
Please show differences between HDRAnd 3bravketed image?
Hi Natasimha!. Good question. As Rudy mentioned, traditional high dynamic range images are created by taking multiple images of the subject, at different exposure settings (bracketing) and then combining these images in the computer, using special software. This gives you full control over the size and quality of both the source images and you final HDR image.
The HDR modes in the camera give you a quick, automated way to create high dynamic range images in the camera, without the use of a computer of separate software. The HDR mode can be used for still images or movies. As the Rudy notes, the final HDR still images created in the camera will be saved as JPEG images.
