When using the RAW format of the FujiFilm S2 Pro (or any other camera that supports RAW and conversion out-of-the-camera) one can extend the dynamic range of the image by combining two (or more) images. This is done by converting in a way that the dark areas are properly lit (not underexposed) and converting again to have the lighter areas properly lit (not overexposed) and then combining the two images in Adobe Photoshop or any other image editing program.
It can be done simpler: with HDRShop. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. It can build HDR images (and save them in regular file formats) by combining a series of differently lit images. No more manual Photoshopping, but an automated process!
