Using the Menu
The Shooting Menu (j, k, l, or m Mode)
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 captured. This is particularly
effective for shooting conditions 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.
• This function may not be available to use in combination with other functions (A75).
C Active D-Lighting Versus D-Lighting
• The Active D-Lighting captures images while reducing loss of details in highlights, and
adjusts the tone when saving images.
• The D-Lighting (A84) option in the playback menu adjusts the tone of saved images.
