The Photo Shooting Menu: Shooting Options
Preserve details in highlights and shadows, creating pictures
with natural contrast. Use for high-contrast scenes, for example
when photographing brightly-lit outdoor scenery through a
door or window or taking pictures of shaded subjects on a
sunny day. Active D-Lighting is most effective when used with
matrix metering.
