Distortion Control
Choose whether to correct the peripheral distortion that occurs due to the
intrinsic characteristics of lenses.
When On is selected, an icon for this setting is displayed on the monitor (A12).
Active D-Lighting
“Active D-Lighting” preserves details in highlights and shadows, creating
photographs with natural contrast. The image taken reproduces the contrast
effect that is seen with the naked eye. This is particularly effective for shooting
scenes with high contrast, such as brightly lit outdoor scenery from a dark room or
shaded subjects at a sunny seaside.
The icon for the current setting other than Off is displayed on the monitor (A12).
B Notes on Active D-Lighting
Additional time is required to record images when shooting using Active D-Lighting.
The exposure is reduced in comparison to shooting with Active D-Lighting set to Off. To ensure
that the gradation is appropriate, adjustments of the highlighted areas, shadow areas and mid-
tones are made before recording.
Some features cannot be used in combination with other menu settings. See “Features Not
Available in Combination“ (A79) for more information.
B Active D-Lighting Versus D-Lighting
The Active D-Lighting option in the shooting menu reduces exposure before shooting to optimize
the dynamic range. The D-Lighting (E12) option in the playback menu optimizes dynamic range
in pictures taken.
