Rich, Smooth Detail with Active
D-Lighting
Sometimes, even a
perfectly exposed scene
will not render an ideal
photograph. With difficult lighting
conditions, important details can be
lost in the highlights and shadows.
But with Nikon’s Active D-Lighting,
the D60 can correct these exposure
issues instantly and automatically,
while you shoot. Simply set Active
D-Lighting before you start shooting.
Active D-Lighting is available when “Matrix” is
selected for metering.
