So, today I decided to do a test with the Active D-Lighting. My main reason for doing this is that a lot of my pictures seemed to not have the contrast that I am use to seeing... Then I started thinking about how the d-lighting could be causing some of this.
Pictures aren't great... But no need to be for the test.
None
Low
Normal
High
Like I said.. not a wonderful picture, but it gives you a sense of how its working.
