Correcting the Brightness and Contrast AutomaticallyN
If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and
contrast can be corrected automatically. This feature is called Auto
Lighting Optimizer. The default setting is [Standard]. With JPEG images,
the correction is done when the image is captured. For RAW images, it can
be corrected with Digital Photo Professional (provided software, p.270).
Without correction
Under [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [5: Highlight tone priority] is
set to [1: Enable], the Auto Ligh ing Optimizer will be set automatically to
[Disable] and you cannot change this setting.
Depending on the shooting conditions, noise might increase.
If a setting other than [Disable] is set and you use exposure
compensation, flash exposure compensation, or manual exposure to
darken the exposure, the image might still come out bright. If you want a
darker exposure, set [Auto Lighting Optimizer] to [Disable] first.
In Basic Zone modes, [Standard] is set automatically.
