Preserving Detail in Highlights and
Shadows (Active D-Lighting and HDR)

Active D-Lighting

Active D-Lighting, accessed via the [Active D-Lighting] item in
the photo or movie shooting menu, is used to preserve details
in highlights and shadows, creating pictures 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.
Active D-Lighting is most effective when [Matrix metering] is
selected for metering.
