Preserving Natural Contrast: Active D-Lighting

serve details in highlights
and shadows. Use Active

day matches in stadiums
and other venues that mix
sunlight and shade.
The following settings are suggested:
Active D-Lighting: Auto 1
Metering: Matrix 2
Exposure mode: e, f, or g 2
1 Choose Extra high 1 or 2 if Auto fails
to produce desired results, but note
that noise may increase.

2 Desired results may not be achieved with center-weight-
ed or spot metering or in exposure mode h.

Noise may appear when
Active D-Lighting is used at
high ISO sensitivities.
