That was really useful, thanks! I shot some frames yesterday under bright sunny high contrast conditions and many of them were over-exposed - could that have been the Active D Lighting?? Maybe I'm better off without it.....

Not to mention that active D-Lighting does something PP cant possibly do, it preserves the highlights by shifting the exposure. This saves otherwise lost highlight information.

All These videos are both helpful and entertaining and the music is first class.Thankyou for sharing your know-how. As to the Active D lighting feature, photoshop's shadows and highlights is an incredibly powerful tool that does very much the same and more in my opinion.

The D90 has it as well, in addition it has an "extra high" setting. Good video!!

No, Active D Lighting is Nikon-only. Canon recently came up with something which is supposed to be similar, but it doesn't work. Only Nikon has this nice technology. According to dpreview, the Canon version actually makes no noticeable difference.

Thank you very much for the help. Just got my first Nikon today, after changing from Canon. I ended up with the D700 and the 50mm 1,4.
And great music btw.

Canon has something that's of the same sort called "Auto Lighting Optimizer", yet by far not as strong in effect as "Active D-Lighting" set to extra strong

AD is total crap. You can get the same results in pp when shooting at base ISO.
And in more severe cases HDR is the only way to get it all.

Yeah? I believe people prefer Active D-Lighting for natural results rather than garbage results that Photomatix creates.

If you set your D-lighting from low to high will that increase the noise too?
sphiney 2 years ago
If you set for High or Extra High, you will start to notice noise appearing in the shadows. It is the best to use Low or Medium at the lowest ISO sensitivities such as ISO 100, 200, or 400.

Can you get Active D lighting if you are using the Canon 5D Mark II??

I wouldn't know. Active D-Lighting is Nikon's design.
