You can use Adaptive Lighting with or without flash, but it is not recommended as a replacement for 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. 1. In the Capture Menu (page 61), select Adaptive Lighting. 2. In the Adaptive Lighting sub- menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. 3. Press the button to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. The following table explains the settings in more detail: Setting Description Off The camera will process the image as normal. This is the default setting. Low The camera will gently brighten the dark regions of the image without changing brightly-lit areas. High The camera will greatly brighten the dark regions of the image without changing brightly lit areas significantly. If the new setting is anything other than the default Off setting, the icon for the setting will appear in the Live View screen. Except in My Mode (page 55), Adaptive Lighting remains in effect until it is changed again, even when you turn the camera off. Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 65
