Active D-Lighting
If On is selected, the camera automatically adjusts Active D-Lighting during shooting
to preserve details in highlights and shadows, creating photographs with natural
contrast. Use for high contrast scenes, for example when photographing brightly lit
outdoor scenery through a door or window or taking pictures of shaded subjects on
a sunny day. It is most effective when used with
L Matrix metering.
