In general (in favour to all camera brands) a JPG picture is a processed image at top to the RAW-data with the settings applied within the camera. To have more detail within shadows, choose a Picture Wizard style that exhibit already much detail in shadows. I suppose (as not a user, but reading from the manual) "Standard" or "Portrait" is a good start. Maybe individually tweaked for contrast. (Is it possible using a NX200 ?).

I would imagine, but I haven't played much with Picture Wizard since I usually shoot RAW.

The other option could be "Smart Range" or "HDR" where in the last option at least two pictures with different exposures are combined. From what I read from the manual, HDR is not an option for the NX200 camera.

There is standard exposure bracketing, but no in-camera HDR matrixing on NX200.

But likely you can do a lot afterwards on a PC using an image editor.
