Auto Lighting Optimizer

If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and contrast can be corrected automatically. With JPEG images, the correction is done when the image is captured. Setting information is appended to RAW images and automatic correction is possible with Digital Photo Professional (provided software).

By default, [Standard] is set. However, with [8C.Fn II -4: Auto Lighting Optimizer], you can adjust the correction amount (p.215).

1Set [8C.Fn II -4: Auto Lighting Optimizer].

For details on setting a Custom Function, see page 204.

Sample of corrected brightness

If [8C.Fn II -4: Auto Lighting Optimizer] is set to a setting other than

[3: Disable], the image might still look bright even if manual exposure, exposure compensation, or flash exposure compensation has been set to make the exposure darker. If you want the darker exposure, set the Auto Lighting Optimizer to [3: Disable] first (p.215).

Depending on the shooting conditions, noise might increase.
