'Frankencamera': A Giant Leap For Digital Photos?
For the prototype, he and his colleagues developed a program that instructs the camera to take two rapid shots if a frame has both dark and light parts. One shot exposes correctly for the dark; one shot exposes correctly for the light. The program then merges the two images into one, taking the best parts from each.

Combined, as they would be if taken by the Frankencamera, both photos create a photo of Zurich with each side properly exposed.
