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 done when the image is captured. For RAW
images, it can be corrected with Digital Photo Professional (provided
software, p.340).
In Basic Zone modes, [Standard] is set.
Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority] is
set to [1: Enable], the Auto Ligh ing 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 he exposure,
the image may still come out bright. If you want a darker exposure, set
this function to [Disable].
In step 2, if you press the <B> button and uncheck <X> the [Disable
during man expo] setting, the Auto Lighting Optimizer can be set in he
<a> mode.
