[QUOTE="aroy, post: 300693, member: 16090"] As I shoot RAW I use this feature in Capture NX-D beta. In camera processing is required if you shoot jpeg. What I understand of active d-lighting is that it takes the 14 bit image, and then fits it in the 8 bits. Depending on aggressiveness (or levels) you can recover from 1EV to 6EV of shadows. On my D3300, I have recovered 1EV overexposure and upto 5EV of shadows using active d-lighting. The same effect can be achieved by playing with the response curves, but this feature makes it extremely simple - just choose a preset level and the shadows lighten up. [/QUOTE]
