Adaptive Lighting

NOTE This setting does not apply in Panorama mode or when recording video clips.

This setting balances the relationship between bright and dark areas in a picture, preserving gentle contrasts but compressing harsh contrasts. Some areas in the picture are lightened, while others are left alone. Here is an example of how Adaptive Lighting can enhance an image:

Without Adaptive Lighting: With Adaptive Lighting:

Adaptive Lighting is useful in situations like these:

!Outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade

!Cloudy days when there is a lot of “glare” from the sky

!Indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or even out the effect of the flash)

!Backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the regular flash to reach

NOTE When Adaptive Lighting is turned on, the camera will take longer to store an image in memory, since the image is being processed before storing it.
