Preserving Natural Contrast: Active D-Lighting
Active D-Lighting helps pre-
serve details in highlights
and shadows. Use Active

trast when photographing
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.

Note

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