Enable Active D-Lighting on Nikon Cameras for Underwater Photos?

2 posts
  1. Hi,

     

    I've been curious to know whether people enable/disable active d-lighting on their Nikon cameras when shooting underwater. What are the pro's and con's? I know the benefits of this on land, but does enabling this feature actually help underwater when shooting with strobes?

     

    I guess one downside to this is that Lightroom or Photoshop will not recognize the effects added onto your files via active d-lighting, whereas Nikon's proprietary software would recognize them?

     

    Any thoughts/feedback would be helpful.

     

    Thanks.

     

    Martin

  2. In camera processing came up on a thread in https://www.nikonians.org/recently around noise reduction. Bottom line was that the Nikon camera only applied the changes to any JPG image created and not the RAW.
