Dynamic Range Charts
A test chart for evaluating dynamic range, tonal response, noise, basic resolution and colour in cameras — supported by the Stepchart, Multicharts and Multitest modules.
- Evaluates dynamic range, tonal response, noise, basic resolution and colour
- High range of density levels for testing when combined with the Stepchart module
- Available substrates — semigloss, photographic paper, Color LVT film
- Supported by the Stepchart, Multicharts and Multitest modules, plus the Dynamic Range postprocessor

Dynamic Range Charts are test charts designed to evaluate tonal response, noise, basic resolution and colour in cameras and digital sensors. Combined with the Stepchart module, a high range of density levels can be tested, making it possible to assess sensor behaviour under high-contrast scene conditions.
The charts are available on several substrates — semigloss, photographic paper and Color LVT film — and are supported by the Stepchart, Multicharts and Multitest modules; when several manual exposures are available, they can also be used with the Dynamic Range postprocessor.
Key features
- Multi-dimensional evaluation — tonal response, noise, basic resolution and colour in a single test
- Substrates — semigloss, photographic paper, Color LVT film
- Sufficient range for camera phones — Dmax ≥ 3.4 is sufficient for camera phones and digital cameras with small pixel sizes
- High-end DSLRs — their higher dynamic range and manual exposure control make them well suited to Dynamic Range testing
- Software compatibility — supported by the Stepchart, Multicharts and Multitest modules, plus the Dynamic Range postprocessor
Applications
Dynamic Range Charts are used to calibrate and test cameras, lenses and vision systems — evaluating dynamic range, sensor noise and tonal response in digital cameras, camera phones and DSLRs.
