Active D‑Lighting

G button U C photo shooting menu

Preserve details in highlights and shadows, creating pictures 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. Active D-Lighting is most effective when used with matrix metering.

Cautions: Active D-Lighting

  • Depending on the subject, “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines may appear in photos taken with Active D-Lighting.
  • In mode M, [Y Auto] is equivalent to [Q Normal].
  • Uneven shading may be visible with some subjects.
  • This function does not apply at high ISO sensitivities (Hi 0.3–Hi 1.7), including high sensitivities selected via auto ISO sensitivity control.
