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. When used
with a flash, Adaptive Lighting can brighten areas that a
flash wouldn't reach. 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, or is severely backlit (for example,
in front of a window)
