Sony Alpha 58 review – Dynamic range
When shooting JPEGs, I would recommend activating the Alpha 58’s DRO feature to lift shadows for a more balanced exposure in scenes with high contrast. Thanks to the camera’s solid metering performance, blown highlights don’t tend to feature in balanced conditions, while those shooting raw are able to recover any that do in harsher lighting conditions using raw-conversion software. It is a similar story when shadow detail needs to be recovered.
