Active D-Lighting
Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlights and shadows, creating photo-

photographing brightly lit outdoor scenery through a door or window or taking pictures of shaded
subjects on a sunny day. To adjust Active D-Lighting without leaving live view:
1
Select Active D-LIghting in the i‑button menu.
With the camera in movie mode, press the i button to display the
i-button menu. Press

Flicker Reduction
Use the Flicker reduction option in the movie shooting menu to reduce
icker and banding when shooting under uorescent or mercury-vapor
lighting during live view or movie recording. Choose Auto to allow the
camera to automatically choose the correct frequency, or manually
match the frequency to that of the local AC power supply.

Flicker Reduction
If Auto fails to produce the desired results and you are unsure as to the frequency of the local power
supply, test both the 50 and 60Hz options and choose the one that produces the best results. Flicker
reduction may not produce the desired results if the subject is very bright, in which case you should try
choosing a smaller aperture (higher f-number). To prevent icker, select mode M and choose a shutter
speed adapted to the frequency of the local power supply: ⁄s, ⁄s, or ⁄s for 60Hz; ⁄s, ⁄s, or ½s
for 50Hz.
