I haven't had time to evaluate the Highlight tone priority yet. I don't know how much better it can hold highlights and hence to provide better dynamic range. I guess the highlight tone priority is a software thing just like the in-camera noise reduction, while getting "better" highlight detail one must trade off some other aspects, that's also why I have left this feature disabled all time...


Maybe Daniel knows more about such a feature and how it works?


Thanks in advance!
