Back on topic: As far as I have understood the feature: The point I tried to make, if switched ON, Active D-lighting collects data that is not recorded in a normal picture, RAW or otherwise. Contrary to normal D-lighting the active feature cannot be simulated in software later. One aspect that i have not tested (but is quite intriguing): the Active D-lighting may work when using flashes, it may be very userful, but I have not had the opportunity to test its merits. Regards, Gilbert

>I wish my Nikon D3 was really a Nikon F3 with digital >capture!!! I can't agree more, JK. What I don't like too is the size of new lenses. For instance the new 35/1.4G weighs 600g whereas the ai-s version I have is less than 400g. The 200g difference can be very noticeable after a whole day's shooting :-(

Back on topic...my understanding about the feature is a bit different. Contrary to normal d-lighting, the "active" part underexposes the picture a bit to preserve highlights. I wonder if anyone who knows how to meter highlights correctly needs this feature?

hmmmm a whole jug full of ideas ,never really thought about this before ,but i will check both cameras and see whats set .i thought the best thing was to set it to auto .i usually try to control high contrast i.e pure white birds by underexposing a few notches .it seems to work but thats where this forum comes into its own by finding out what other users do

My understanding of DLighting is that essentially it is processing the image with a different 'profile/curve' to the Default one.

From the D800 manual - It mentions that it changes exposure, but the example photos don't show the shadows getting darker along with the sky, so it must change the profile/curve also (unless they cheated on the example photos). Attachment: Snap6.jpg (Downloaded 26 times)
