Dynamic range is the ability of a digital imaging system to respond to varying levels of exposure. The statement is?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not applicable
• D. Depends on display

Answer: (A)

Dynamic range is about how much variation in brightness a digital imaging system can capture and render with usable detail, from deep shadows to bright highlights. It describes the system’s ability to respond as exposure changes across a scene, preserving detail rather than clipping in highlights or becoming noisy in shadows. So the statement is true because dynamic range defines the range of luminance the sensor and processing chain can faithfully record. Display might affect how much of that range you can see, but the fundamental capability lies in the imaging system itself.
