Correcting The Brightness And Contrast Automatically (Auto Lighting Optimizer) - Canon EOS 600D Instruction Manual

Correcting the Brightness and Contrast AutomaticallyN
3
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.302).
Without correction
Under [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [6: Highlight tone priority] is
set to [1: Enable], the Auto Lighting 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.
Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer].
