HDR (High Dynamic Range)
Exquisite detail in highlight and shadow: In scenes with extreme contrasts, such as bright, sunlit clouds and a foreground deep in shadow, it was once quite difficult to render the textures of both equally. Not any more. D5100 combines two exposures to create an image revealing an extremely wide dynamic range, but with less noise and richer color gradation than ever before.
Capture every detail with remarkable clarity—the D5100 brings image quality in a class of its own.
Stunning image quality

Handheld shooting and full HD movies come out looking great even in low light.
