Dynamic range Like
density range, a reference to the range of measurable tones in an original
image or a reproduction. The dynamic range of a CCD or other sensor
also is a crucial factor to evaluate when purchasing a digital scanner
or camera Defined in density units, dynamic range is a logarithmic measurement
of the amount of light recorded (each additional point of density increases
light absorption by a factor of ten). See density, density range, tonal
range.
