I'm hoping someone can confirm or correct my understanding of Active D. From Nikon I get this: (http://www.nikonusa....-d-lighting.htm) “With Active D-Lighting chosen on my Nikon D-SLR, the camera's Matrix meter will identify the amount of contrast in the scene and process the final picture with the appropriate amount of compensation to lighten—open up—the scene's shadows. At the same time, Active D-Lighting maintains the highlight detail—detail that other systems often ignore.” (My italics.) So, my take-away is that Active D works only with matrix metering, and it does not affect the actual capture of information (essentially, the RAW file), only "the final picture." Essentially, it's processing after capture. Is that correct?
