Frame a photograph, focus, and shoot.

The camera will vary Active D-Lighting with each shot.
The first shot will be taken with Active D-Lighting off, the
following shot at the value currently selected for Active
D-Lighting in the shooting menu (pg. 165).

While bracketing is in effect, a bracketing progress
indicator will be displayed in the control panel. The

segment will disappear from the indicator when the
unmodified shot is taken, the

z indicator when the shot

with Active D-Lighting is taken.

❚❚Canceling Bracketing

To cancel bracketing, press the

D button and rotate the main command dial until the

bracketing progress indicator is no longer displayed in the control panel.

Active D-Lighting

Matrix metering (

Z, pg. 87) is recommended. Noise, lines, and distortion may appear in

photographs taken with Active D-Lighting at high ISO sensitivities. The Brightness and
Contrast Picture Control settings (pg. 111) can not be adjusted while active D-Lighting is in
effect. In exposure mode M, an Active D-Lighting setting of Auto is equivalent to Normal.
