Auto Correction Of Brightness And Contrast - Canon EOS 80D Instruction Manual

Auto Correction of Brightness and ContrastN
3
If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and
contrast can be corrected automatically. This function is called Auto
Lighting Optimizer. The default setting is [Standard]. With JPEG
images, the correction is applied when the image is captured.
In Basic Zone modes, [Standard] is set automatically.
Depending on the shooting conditions, noise may increase.

If a setting other than [Disable] is set and you use exposure

compensation or flash exposure compensation to darken the exposure,
the image may still come out bright. If you want a darker exposure, set
this function to [Disable].
If HDR mode (p.207), highlight tone priority (p.174), or multiple-exposure

shooting (p.212) is set, the Auto Lighting Optimizer will be set
automatically to [Disable].
In step 2, if you press the <B> button and uncheck [X] the [Disabled in
M or B modes] setting, the [Auto Lighting Optimizer] can also be set in
the <a> and <F> modes.
