For a HDR it is quite natural looking I must say.

The Camera takes 2 pics when you press the shutter and gives you 1 .jpg
you can not adjust anything

Was this done with just 2 exposures? Does the D800 allow you to set the number of exposures to be blended into the HDR image? If so, what is the max number of exposures?

Finally, does the D800 save all of the images plus the HDR version separately, or does it just save the one HDR image?

(Sorry for all the questions.)

Was the camera tripod-mounted or does the in-camera HDR manage to align hand-held photos ?

Hi Alan
This was Handheld
there is a 1 sec. delay....
you just hit the trigger once the camera takes the 2 shots

Nothing blown out on my calibrated desktop. Actually pretty amazing. Seeing the blue sky through the leaves is kind of a suprise for in camera processing, way beyond the ADL capablilities of the D700.

I have 2 calibrated monitors and both of them are not showing the blown highlights. Image looks great to me. I will have to try this feature.

OP, what kind of smoothing did you use?
...............................................

smoothing??
I did not use any NR if that's what you mean

I'm inviting all the people that hide behind "calibrated" monitors or telephones to come to Chicago for some time in the darkroom.

You'll learn about exposure, since you don't know what it is now.

This is not an insult, this is a serious offer. I'm here to help. You'll be able to apply what you learn from the pros here to your digital world.

Darkroom is dead, but if you want a lesson on digital processing come over. Not an insult either.

One caveat why I *dont* like this feature on my D4 or D800... and for folks with neither camera, this isn't a widely advertised item...

You have to be in JPEG mode to do this. You can't even pick HDR in the menu if you are in RAW mode. It's effectively the same as the in-camera editing stuff where once you edit it, it writes out a JPEG except it forgos the RAW altogether.

Press button. Camera takes two JPEGs. Camera combines them for HDR and outputs a single file. [you dont get the two frames it captures, it keeps them in buffer than tosses them, you just get final output file]

Useful? Maybe. It's not a replacement at all for just shooting bracketed RAW and doing it yourself.

I will say it generally looks fairly natural and uses fairly neutral settings. You can still get halos depending on the set you do and smoothing chosen.

If you absolutely have to do an HDR in the field with no option of post processing for god-knows what reason... then this is a useful feature. If you really suck at making HDR photos that dont look insanely surreal this is also an option as the limited options generally push you towards a "decent" final output.
