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 
L (Matrix metering; 0 68).
