Someone said earlier that in-camera HDR is jpeg only. That is true through the K-5 variants; the K-3 does allow HDR when shooting RAW. The 645z does as well.
Two additional notes: Soon after I got my K-3 I emailed Pentax with a couple of questions: 1. The HDR sub-menu allows for a choice of AUTO, HDR1, HDR2 or HDR3. What is the difference between these choices? Answer: "they provide for different amounts of HDR processing to be applied.” Oh well. I figured this was one of those questions where I would never know the answer without extensive carefully controlled field testing. In anticipation of this I had also asked: 2. Is there any indication in exif data whether HDR was used and, if so, which “intensity” setting was used? Answer: “No.” stan On Mar 30, 2015, at 2:53 PM, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: > Thanks Ralf! > > Ralf R Radermacher wrote: >> Am 30.03.15 um 07:56 schrieb Paul: >> >>> Taking advantage of the extended dynamic range of RAW files for HDR is >>> pretty much a post processing domain.
