noise (graininess,
banding, and mottling) may appear in photographs
taken at high ISO sensitivities and additional time is required to record
images. The
Brightness and Contrast Picture Control settings (0 157)
can
not be adjusted while active D-Lighting is in effect.
~ IIActive D-Lighting" versus liD-lighting"
The Active D-Lighting option in the shooting menu adjusts exposure
before shooting to optimize the dynamic range, while the D-Lighting
option in the retouch menu optimizes dynamic range in images after
shooting.
