You have 2 choices.
1. Use bracketing, take 3 images a couple of stops apart and then HDR them together.
2. Take one RAW image & make 3 copies of it with the xposure compensation turned up & down on 2 of them.
The camera can't do the HDR combining on its own, you need 3rd party software to do that.
"D-Lighting" turned way up can create a similar effect.

Every time Pondy says something I have to make another copy and paste to wordpad...
I should just make a "Pondy workshop" folder...
I'd make millions...
I'm still trying to get one that looks ok... Failed so far...

I can't do HDR either.. I know how to, but they always look shitty.
It's a fad anyway.. :-)

it is? I thought it was just a technique to make a photo with all areas exposed right so you don't loose colors of the sky from blow out and the details aren't lost in the shadows

I was being semi facetious!
When they get the dynamic range of digital cameras wider HDR will become obsolete, at the moment we're stuck with a range of about 8 - 9 stops, but we can see far wider than that, which is why we have to decide to expose for the dark or the light, or do both & HDR.
So, my theory (And I'm sticking to it!) is sensor technology will march on and within 5 years we'll have a dynamic range of over 12 stops, at which point HDR will be pointless.

It is, but very few who use it seem to get that. They just tend to turn everything up and end up with rather weird looking images.

My two cents worth.
I use a Fuji S3 Pro which as far as I know was one of the first digital technology to use D-Range. Which can be switched on or off in the camera.
Also people use HDR software without understand that it can be adjusted and should look like a natural photo only bringing out under and over exposed areas.
Check out these examples
