Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlights and shadows
for natural contrast. Use with high contrast scenes such as a
brightly lit outdoor view framed in a door or window or a sub-
jects in the shade on a sunny day. It is most effective when used
with Matrix metering (0 124).

dynamic range in images after shooting.
