Some cameras can create HDR images. HDR is High Dynamic Range, which more closely resembles what the eye can see. The other option is to create HDR images in post processing. With either method you will capture the details in both highlights and shadows. The sky won't be blown out and the mountains will show detail. This is accomplished by combining under, over, and 0ev exposed images into a single image. Ansel Adams created HDR images in the wet darkroom. Some NIKON cameras also have Active D lighting which helps with high contrast scenes.
