- The dynamic range of an imaging sensor, what is it? And what does it mean for your final image quality?
P.S: I realize I didn't annotate the examples while editing, but when the examples are shown, take a close look at the parts of the image where the trees are, and also the skies. That's where most the highlight and shadow details are lost.

how can i know and messure the stops from my camera or videos?
you don't have to, most of measurements are done pretty accurately by dxomark
thanks but i dont find my DMC-FZ47 on that list www.dxomark.com/best-panasonic-cameras-under-59200-dollars
Well, bridge cameras are bad at dynamic range anyway, because they have tiny sensor. Also most cameras produce JPEG files have a lot much less dynamic range compared to the RAW files.
To test a camera's dynamic range you do need some specialized equipment, so it's rarely done by the end-user.
I'm gonna cite this article here: www.cinema5d.com/canon-measured-15-stops-dynamic-range-c300-mark-ii/
"...at this moment there is no established “standard” to conduct such a measurement (for dynamic range)."
The authors of the article used a DSC labs XYLA-21 test chart and accompanying software to analyze the dynamic range of the camera.
i use to usseed Natural profile, take down contrast colour and boosted sharpness it won some dynamic range dont lossing much details. think then have at least 8 stops that way
I came for the dynamic range, I stayed for the cat 💚
How to take portrait's while using dynamic range?
Finally someone explained it easy! :)
Like the video. Beautiful cat!
Hey amazing..years of confusion just cleared in minutes..thank you..so much..keep it up..
You did such a fantastic job explaining and showing and just getting right to the point without a ton of bla, bla, bla other content priducers suffer from. Awesome and thanks for this video. I'm learning and this was very helpful. Especially the graph showing how past a certain point the camera just treats everything as black/white... so well done!
WOW! Impressed by your precision of explanation! Thanks! Lovely cat btw :)
Thanks for the explanation - very informative for us newbies!
Thank you! You've have just explained in 2 and a half minutes, what I have been trying to find out for over 2 weeks!
Hahaha I've been there 🤣🤣
What's the difference between mega pixels and dynamic range. Doesn't higher mega pixels give higher dynamic range!
What determines the dynamic range of a camera?
Is it just the sensor? Mostly the sensor?
Can you improve it to any extent by tweaking the parameters (lens, ISO, exposure, etc.) as you shoot?
I suppose all cameras will have at least a base-line dynamic range? How is it measured?
I just saw a couple of comments down that ericmayo said "fantastic." I was gonna use the same word. Clear, to the point, easy-to-understand and, perhaps even more important, easy to REMEMBER. Really a great job. Thank you. (And I loved the strange moment with the cat at 0:35!)
Does Dynamic Range Not Apply To VIDEO?
THANK YOU
Dynamic range = more detail in shadows and highlights (not over saturated whites and blacks); if you don’t have a lot of contrast it’s ok to have a low dynamic range phone camera but if lots of light and shadow, a number system needs to be consulted ;; what changes - focus?
wait this was such a good and clear video!! thanks so much!
Hello, could you advice me, whether i have to go with BSI CMOS or CMOS?
Thank you still learning about graphic settings on pc and this really helped explained what I saw
excellent!!
very helpfull and simple explanation thanks ;)
What does that mean when the spec of a camera shows +/-4 EV , does it mean rhe camera has 8 stops range ?
Great video, learned a lot, but I was confused since the footage that was supposed to be better looked worse
Explained in 2:30 mins, you are a master.
Simple straight to the point. Thanks
Thank you for breaking it down so well for newbies like me to understand.
Very well explained..thank you
This was amazing explanation!! Thanks a lot!
Very easy to understand.....you earn a subscriber.
As a beginner to photography, I find your videos very informative. What I like the most is that your explanations are simple and very easy to understand. Great work bro! Thanks!!
Simple and straight to the point that even a dummy can understand.
Focus points, please explain about linear, cross, their values and how they relate to some lenses. Many guys out there need to know that. Could you make a small tutorial about it?
sweet, short and helpful,thank you!
some cameras have extended range what's that all about ?
Plz xplain highlight, shadows and mid tones
Thank you so much I really understand
how to measure dynamic range in a device like a scanner ?
how to know which camera have wider dynamic range?
Will like to see similar explanation for ISO.
ISO just amplifies signal. Signal being light. 100 IS is a 2x amplification of light from 50 ISO. ISO is artificial
You can use Magic Lantern on older Canon cameras to shoot Raw videos, image is amazing but it is a long process and it does not record sound when shooting Raw. Nice Channel ZY !
what is the diffrence between flat , s log and raw footage ?
your explanations are the best! keep producing please!
Which camera has best dynamic range?
How do you measure those stops of dynamic range? In other words how much does my camera have and how many stops is considered good?
Hey Stan, great question! Check out the pinned comment, I've answered a similar question there along with some discussion. To answer your question in short, you can always search for your camera model on the DXOMark database to see what is the dynamic range that they've measured off of the camera. And I'd personally say anything above 10 stops is acceptable.
@@zy_cheng ya no way a camera has 10 stops of dinamic range. the 14stop ev or 15stop ev numbers are bullshit.
in the DSLR market the most dinamic range is on the nikon d800e with a dinamic range of 9.1ev.
the sony a7 III has a dinamic range of 8.8EV. and most cameras are in that aria of 8.7,8.8.
I was looking for this thanks
Thank you
Awesome explanation
very clear! Thanks!
Great explanation.
0:37 it is the Cat for me XD
Thanks so much !! 🙏
Thank you brudda
Canon is teh best!
Good explanation.
do a video on the leading lines please!
Cool idea! Perhaps I'll start a series on composition tips! Thanks for the idea!
ZY Productions that's a really good topic to do. Make a few vids and you'll see if becomes populr. Looking forward to see the vids! 👊🏻
Thank you
Very good video
kitteh! :) gets a like.
Thanks ( a lot)
Civil War Guy. Okay. Skipped right past 100 times as irelevant because of weird wig.
Mt name's Mike and I am a weirdwigophope.
Brilliant
Great video. Your explanation was right on - very simple to understand and comprehend . Thanks for sharing.
Hi, nice explanation, my question is, how to know what’s camera dynamic range? Is written in the specifications of some where else? Thank you
thx
Thanks for sharing these recipes! :) Personally because I hate the bugging my camera down with clarity setting other than 0 so I do that post editing.
Great explanation. Better than everyone eles I've watched. Thank you!
Thank you. Clearly said. I'm not a photographer and I use smartphone for taking photos I hear lot of them say about 'dynamic range'. Now I know.
The comment towards the end about the dynamic range being lower in video mode, is Only true for Some brands.
Canon's DSLR's are about two stops lower - the 5D2 is 11 stops in stills and 9 stops in video.
However, Pentax don't follow convention, and ignore the IRE limits, encoding from -15 to +125 %IRE, and retain the same dynamic range in video as they have in stills - about 13 stops for the K-01/K-3/K-30, and 14 to 15 stops for the K-1 and KP.
Then they go and compress it too far and loose sharp detail,....... dagnabbit.
If a camera has low dynamic range, what should I adjust? ISO or shutter speed (also to avoid noise)
Thank brother. Simple and concise explanation!
Puteri Habour?
Thanks so much for this most informative video! Could you kindly explain the difference/relationship between Dynamic Range and Tonal Range? God bless!
0:37 😂😂😂
Quick and precise and no yada yada. This is how every tutorial/instructor videos should be. Instead of losing the important information part and ended up trying to find more information on other video you want to know because the guy on videos keep talking about his life experience. 😂
Awesome explanation! I was waiting to see actual numbers of stops on the bar example you showed. I imagine that the middle of the bar would be 0 stops?
Superb! Really clear explanation. Thanks. Are you able to help me to understand the Darken Mode in Photoshop? Finding it a bit confusing and have yet to find anyone who can explain it to me.
how can you tell a camera's dynamic range? Is a good rule of thumb, the bigger the sensor size the higher the dynamic range? Mine is a fujifilm x-a3, these dynamic ranges are not seen in the specifications list of my manual.
Also is this dynamic range compensated for if you shot it as a RAW file and adjusted the highlights and shadows in an editing program to get those details back, thus making the dynamic range of the camera build not matter that much anymore?
动态范围和宽容度 是不是一样？
How about the Panasonic GH5 with 2.0 firmware?
So actually cameras that have great contrast actually have less dynamic range. High contrast processing algorithm is used to hide the noise in the shadows.
Thanks for the short and Very useful information sir. peace! @barco.photo
Where are you from? Because the video you showed is actually in my city Johor Bahru.
New to photography I was (probably like most) a bit unimpressed by the dynamic range on a dslr (Canon 800d) which I know is a more entry level DSLR but my question is: do better dslr (or mirrorless) cameras offer hugely noticeable difference in dynamic range, or is it one thing that only changes in a minor way as you go up in price (for photography not video)
great, straight to the point. I hate when I need to look at 10 min video, which explains things that require no more than 10 sentences.
Since you’re good at explaining and you asked for it i do have a question:
Can you explain the interaction between the functions iso, shutter speed and aperture. I know what each term stands for and also to keep iso as low as possible. Also it’s common to have double the shutter of your fps but are there cases were you differ from this rule in order to have a “better” aperture? Since aperture also deals with depth of field (a term i don’t fully yet understand ) i figured there might be cases were you in or decrease the shutter or iso for a “better aperture”
Thank you for your explanation! Great work!
lovely...!! can you suggest me any recently released full frame canon model for wedding and landscape?
This was a well done video and explanation. I learned more in this video than trying to read a chapter in a book about it. Thanks
Really clearly and concise. Really good job. Thank you.
Your explanations are perfect!!!! Thanks a lot!
Easy to understand very helpful.
Very well explained! Thank you! 😊
How can you not shoot RAW footage with DSLR when it does have that option?
Please explain about metering!!
Totally crisp explanation!
Photography addict here, thanks a lot👍
Great explanation👍🏻😊, thank you
Great, short videos for the newbies. Much appreciated and keep up the fantastic work.
Great explanations. Simple and straight to the point
Perfect explanation, thanks!
thanks for the explanation. Now i see the light!!
