Per D7500’s manual, “Active D lighting” or ADL brings out the detail in highlights and shadows but comes with a price: Noise. Is it worth it? To me, bringing out the details makes for a flatter range of values and loss of contrast. And who needs noise?
I readily admit to a low tolerance for Gimmickry, but I can overcome that bias if it is worth it. Assuming that ADL is available on other Nikons, what are other’s experiences with ADL?
