Adaptive Lighting

This setting balances the relationship between bright and

dark areas in a picture, preserving gentle contrasts but

reducing harsh contrasts. Dark areas in the picture are

lightened, while brighter areas are left alone. When used

with a flash, Adaptive Lighting can brighten areas that a

flash wouldn't reach. Here is an example of how Adaptive

Lighting can enhance an image:

Adaptive Lighting is useful in situations like these:
• Outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade
• Cloudy days when there is a lot of glare from the sky
• Indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or

even out the effect of the flash)

• Backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the

regular flash to reach, or is severely backlit (for example,

in front of a window)
