[QUOTE="WileyCoyote, post: 167560, member: 14124"] [B][SIZE=2][B][I][U]Function[/U][/I][/B][/SIZE][/B] Active D-Lighting works by using digital processing to adjust only specific areas of a photographic that may be overly dim or bright. For instance, with Active D-Lighting a shaded area under a tree juxtaposed to a glistening car windshield in the sun would reduce the severe contrast of the two areas to make light rendering more smooth and detailed. [B][SIZE=3][SIZE=1][B][SIZE=2]Benefits[/SIZE][/B][/SIZE][/SIZE][/B] As compared to D-Lighting on previous Nikon models, Active D-Lighting occurs the instant a picture is taken. D-Lighting must go through post-processing within a computer program such as Nikon Capture. Also, Active D-Lighting has a tendency to enhance the vividness of color throughout a picture, and gives better detail to dark areas. [B][I][U][B][SIZE=2]Considerations[/SIZE][/B][/U][/I][/B] Active D-Lighting makes its biggest impact in extreme, multifarious or abnormal lighting scenes. It is most noticeable in landscape and sporting event shots, as lighting can be complex. I usually just turn my Active D Lighting off. [/QUOTE]
