GR DIGITAL IV : What is a dynamic range expansion effect?

With the GR DIGITAL IV, you can select 3 expansion effects for the dynamic range (the range of brightness than can be processed by the camera) from [Weak] to [Strong]. The stronger the expansion effect is, the wider brightness range the camera can process.
