Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to help 

recover shadows and highlights.  The result is more natural images with clearer details that more 

closely match what your naked eye sees. DRO is particularly effective when shooting backlit 

portraits or any scene with a dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting. 

DRO Plus allows for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and 

performing additional image processing.
