comment & feedback needed

Increase exposure... try different color profile, use/try Portrait. (If shoot RAW, you can switch between the profiles to see the differences)
Try turn on D-Lighting to high, if you shoot raw, you can try adjust the D-Lighting by processing the RAW from the camera. This basically recovers the shadows, but will/may make your photos less contrasty.

After you process the file to Jpeg. With RAW, when you choose process image in Camera Body, you can change the D-Lighting option also, you can try it and see the difference.

And choose "Portrait" color profiles, it will be less harsh, you can also reduce the contrast.
You using "Standard" color profiles? Try vivid, you will know kaw kaw, hahaha

Btw, D-Lighting can also recover on highlights if not wrong.

D-Ligthing is for processed image (e.g. Jpeg) in your camera.
When you choose to process RAW in your camera, after process, you will get JPEG file.

If using LR or PS, you can recover yourself.
D-Lighting will be more on overall or based on the camera processing to determine which to recover, but if if you recover yourself, you can control which part to recover and get better result.

Your previous question was asking to do direct in camera right? hehe

During shoot, if you shoot raw, you can try to adjust later. This one may see PS skills, I'm not sure how good/much can recover and still look natural/ok.
If you mean during shoot, even shoot raw, but you want to get JPEG image on the spot, you can try processing the RAW in camera.

If you're processing the RAW file through PS or LR, then you can try lower the contrast, black levels, clarity, etc. Firstly, choose suitable color profiles, you may notice when you change color profiles, the result will be different.

The image your friend shot, the shadow is pretty bad, hehe. Maybe those shifu with good skills can recover.

Sometimes having shadows isn't exactly a bad thing la, it shows the actual condition of the place ma ;-)

Get rid like completely? Not sure, maybe those pro editing skills can do it.
It can look unnatural too if you get rid completely, or maybe depends on the editing skills.

Btw anyone have experience in sending lens for fungus cleaning? other then sending back to nikon, any 3rd party that can do it with a decent price?

How much does it cost? or you havent got quotation yet. thinking of sending one of my lens for cleaning before its getting worse

Wah your 2470 so fast got fungus?
going where ler boss

Scared already
I don't even have drybox 

cheapest ady i think.. dno why shashinki selling it so cheap =,=

I use LR mainly as a catalog for selecting and basic tuning. Then drop into PS for cleanup. then resize for web.
i usually set to AUTO >_<
