Normally I would bracket a shot like this but wanted to see what my new camera was like when pushed a bit. EC of -3.3 to keep most of the highlights (but not all) which left a fair amount of lifting the shadows. The camera seems to handle that situation quite well.

Thank you Carol. The area round the sun was just a bit too much for the sensor but I just cropped most of it out.

Not bad. Does the Z5 have an HDR setting? I use that quite a bit on my Nikons when shooting into the sun.

Thanks. Yes it has an HDR mode but it saves in jpg only, so I prefer to use bracketing.

Indeed that is a very contrasty scene so you and the camera did very well.

Thank you Mike. It's a very forgiving camera so maybe it's the Z5 making me look good
