Reference Section
Noise Reduction Filter
Set the strength of the noise reduction function that is normally performed
when saving images.
Active D-Lighting
Details in highlights and shadows are preserved, and the natural contrast that is
seen with the naked eye is well reproduced in the image taken. This is
particularly effective for shooting scenes with high contrast, such as brightly lit
outdoor scenery from a dark room or shaded subjects at a sunny seaside.
B Notes About Active D-Lighting
• Additional time is required to save images after shooting.
• The setting may not be changed when using certain settings of other functions.
B Active D-Lighting Versus D-Lighting
The Active D-Lighting option in the shooting menu reduces exposure before
shooting to adjust the dynamic range properly. The D-Lighting (E8) option in the
playback menu readjusts the dynamic range properly in images captured.
