Bright subjects, such as a snow-white bridal dress and vivid flowers, can be described precisely in tone reproduction. Meanwhile dark noise would be remarkable; it is suitable for shooting images with less dark-area in the frame. Low mode: Dark noise can be reduced and tonal reproduction on shadow area is increased. Meanwhile details in the bright area may be lost; it is suitable for shooting images which does not contain high-brightness area.
