Auto Correction Of Brightness And Contrast; Auto Lighting Optimizer - Canon EOS 6D 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.
If [z4: Highlight tone priority] is set to [Enable], the Auto Lighting
Optimizer will be set automatically to [Disable] and the setting cannot be
changed.
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 the HDR mode (p.155) or multiple exposure shooting (p.158) is set, the
Auto Lighting Optimizer will be set automatically to [Disable]. When the
HDR mode or multiple exposure shooting is canceled, the Auto Lighting
Optimizer will revert to the original setting.
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 be set in the
<a> and <F> modes.
