So for example, if you try to capture a bright area with a camera, the other surrounding area can become too dark due to the camera “dilating” so that the bright area is not too bright, but our eyes can look at it fine.
Our eyes dilate too, but it’s not nearly as much as a camera.

Every light sensitive cell in our retina is quite complex on its own and is able to adjust its exposure individually. They’re like their own 1 pixel cameras.
Each pixel in a DLSR sensor is much simpler, so they all have to be exposed to the same amount.
Thus your eyes can see a mix of light and dark address clearly while (with current technology anyway) a camera can’t.
