There are several ways to address and deal with
circumstances highlight clipping, including:
- check the histogram, check whether the area is too bright to right so that over-exposure?
- when viewing the photos in the camera, turn on the feature 'highlight clipping indicator' so that the white area that suffered washout will be marked by the camera in the form of blinking
- not all that bright areas of washout was considered failed, if the experience is not an object image washout important then just ignore it
- but when the light of the washout area is an important area in the photo, the photo needs to be repeated
- when the camera is often experienced clipping in high contrast areas, can lower the komponsasi exposure to -1 / 3 so that the images will be 1 / 3 stop darker (darker images will create more shadow detail in dark areas)
- certain cameras (like the EOS 550) had a highlight tone priority feature, the feature can be activated when we frequently shooting a white object in order to keep the details
- many modern cameras have a feature enhancing dynamic range (Active D Lighting, Dynamic Range Optimizer, etc.) that will raise the detail in dark areas (shadow), note that this feature is generally not able to prevent highlight clipping, so even though this feature is activated but the results are still clipping occurs
- If you have a camera RAW feature, use the RAW file to photograph areas of high contrast and edit it manually on the computer to save the details in bright areas that may not be recorded with the JPG format
- additional lighting help to balance the contrast can be tried, which is common is the use of flash in daylight (fill flash) or use a reflector
- Finally, as much as possible to avoid the object image is too much contrast.
