Preserving Detail in
Highlights and Shadows
(Active D-Lighting)
Active D-Lighting preserves 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 matrix
metering (
0 85).
