Highlight Tone Priority

[maXpower]

is it possible to enable the highlight tone priority in Program mode?.......from my understanding it's only accesibile in the custom mode........oh, the camera is a canon 40d....thanks!

What does the manual say?

the manual does not list it as a option, but i thought most everything was accessible in Program Mode?

You can't use HTP at ISO 100. Try turning up the ISO to at least 200 and see if that works.

highlight tone priority? sounds like a complicated way of spot metering and exposing for highlights..

It actually gives you an extra stop of dynamic range.
