GLOSSARY
- Active D-Lighting
A camera setting that preserves highlight and shadow details in a high-contrast scene with a wide dynamic range.
- AE (Autoexposure)
A function of a camera where the camera selects the aperture and/or shutter speed according to the camera's built-in light meter. See also Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Programmed Auto.

The function of this button can be altered in the Custom Setting menu (CSM f7).

- Aperture Priority
