For the Nikon D810, active D-Lighting is used to help the contrast in images. It extends the dynamic range by opening up the shadows and protecting the highlights. A possible penalty could be additional noise in shadow details. It may be useful for JPEG shooters, since a jpeg shouldn't really be modified after shooting and therefore it's important that the image is correct in the first place. I haven't used it so much as I usually shoot in raw format, but I understand that it can be beneficial when shooting in high and low contrast settings.How does D-lighting work and what is the proper use for it? I've seen the option in my camera but don't really understand it's use properly.
