Active D-Lighting; [Active D-Lighting] - Nikon Z 9 Reference Manual

Active D-Lighting

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 used with matrix metering.
