Adaptive Lighting
This setting balances the relationship between bright and
dark areas in a picture, preserving gentle contrasts but
reducing harsh contrasts. Dark areas in the picture are
lightened, while brighter areas are left alone. Here is an
example of how Adaptive Lighting can enhance an image:
Adaptive Lighting is useful in situations like these:
• Outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade
• Cloudy days when there is a lot of glare from the sky
• Indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or
even out the effect of the flash)
• Backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the
regular flash to reach
You can use Adaptive Lighting with or without the flash, but
it is not recommended as a replacement for the flash. Unlike
the flash, Adaptive Lighting does not affect exposure settings,
so brightened areas may appear noisy or grainy, and indoor
or night images may be blurry if taken without a flash or
a tripod.
