active d lighting

[stuart wanuck]

reg nikon 300 can you comment in regards to the use of
active d lighting in flight bird photography.would think it would be advantageous against
a bright sky thanks

[Jim Fenton]

I absolutely WOULD NOT use it.

ADL does an exquisite job of showing noise in shadow areas.

i 2nd jim i used it at first but after i did some testing with it i found it to bring out noise,

Agree with above, plus it slows down your frame rate/processing.
