HP have incorporated a unique feature called Adaptive Lighting Technology. This feature enables photographers to produce photos that look more like what they see with their own eyes. Brightness in images is balanced by compressing harsh contrasts while preserving smaller contrasts. The result is that some areas in photos are lightened while other areas are left alone. The effect is based on the same "dodging and burning" technique as used by conventional photographers in their darkrooms. By giving more exposure to lighter areas in an image and less exposure to darker parts, contrasts are levelled out to deliver a well-balanced print. This advanced feature, which is exclusive to HP's 945 camera, is called "digital flash". It has three user selectable settings "low", "high" and "off" based on the level of contrast in a scene. We have tried the feature several times and we have to admit that it really works.
