1. What is Dynamic Range?

Fill Flash or correct the image in post processing (Photoshop or darkroom)
The exposure extremes digital pixels can detect and record. Cameras that can detect and capture large amounts of shadow detail and large amounts of highlight detail at the same time are said to have a 'high dynamic range'. When there is more data than the camera's sensor can capture, it is said that that the resulting image has 'clipped highlights' or 'clipped shawdows'.
Therefore: ISO 100 becomes 1/125th, ISO 200 becomes 1/250th, and ISO 400 becomes 1/500th. It's the closest incremental shutter speed to the film speed being used. The shutter speed should be as 'fast' or 'faster' than the ISO number.
