[QUOTE="nickt, post: 504649, member: 4923"] Active d lighting is mainly a jpg thing. If you shoot raw, you should not use it, but if you use only Nikon processing software, then you might benefit from it in raw too. There are details though. Used at lower levels, its just a jpg thing. If you push it to the higher levels, it also alters the exposure a bit and that will affect your raw file by under exposing it a bit. I don't have a specific source, but if you google "does active-d lighting affect exposure" you will find some forum talk and articles. Bottom line is that most people here would say turn it off if you are shooting raw. [/QUOTE]
