- jacobushi 11y agoSo this thing, instead of doing multiple successive shots like in standard HDR, it integrates over multiple shots of single pixels. Integrating AD converter comes to mind. I am sure this improves on standard HDR but it just moved the turtles one step down. With this technique you may still get motion blur, albeit only on the otherwise saturated, washed out parts of the picture.

But I guess it's better than having a white bright light in the middle of a normal day.
