THIS WAS THE VERY FIRST day that I took this old-but-brand-new camera out of its box and into the wild!!! Notice the date the camera is set to! I bought this thing five years ago,and had never fired a single frame with it until today. This is with the DYnamic Range set to 300%. Notice that the sun is rendered as a ROUND object--not a big, blown-out, jagged BLOB of orange...but a recognizably ROUND-shaped body.
