I found I had better performance from fill flash. I have the D-lighting off on my D5000. I don’t know if he has one for the D3000 but there is a book called from snap shots to great shots for the D5000 D90 and D7000. ( at least that is what is in our local book store) I have one and it gives you more information on the D lighting than the Nikon manual.From snap shots to great shots D5000“The camera evaluates the tones in your image and then underexposes for the highlight areas while lighting any areas that it believes are too dark or lacking in contrast." D-lighting is automatically applied to images that are shot in any of the auto scene modes except for high key, low key, and silhouette scene modes. You can choose form six levels off, low, bormal, high, extra high and auto. You will need to evaluate the strength of the effect on you images and change it accordingly. The paragraph then states that he leaves it on normal so that he has a brighter more detailed shadow area in the photograph while still maintaining good exposure in the skies. You should know that Active D lighting may only be adjusted while using the professional modes. Also you want to turn it off when you are using the flash exposure compensation since it will try to work against you when you alter the flash strength.” Hope any of this helps and good luck, hope to see the turn out.</blockquote>
