DActive D-Lighting
Noise (graininess, banding, and mottling) may appear in photographs taken with Active D-Lighting at high ISO sensitivities. If center-weighted or spot metering is selected, settings other than XOff are equivalent to QNormal. In mode M, an Active D-Lighting setting of GAuto is equivalent to QNormal.
D“Active D-Lighting” Versus “D-Lighting”
The Active D-Lightingoption in the shooting menu adjusts exposure before shooting to optimize the dynamic range, while the D-Lightingoption in the retouch menu (0 174) optimizes dynamic range in images after shooting.
AThe Shooting Menu
Active D-Lighting can also be adjusted using the Active D-Lightingoption in the shooting menu (0 148).
