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.
