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.

Select [Auto Lighting Optimizer].
Under the [z2] tab, select [Auto Lighting Optimizer], then press <0>.
Select the setting.
Select the desired setting, then press <0>.
Take the picture.
The image will be recorded with the brightness and contrast corrected if necessary.
Under [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)], if [3: Highlight tone priority] is
set to [1: Enable], the Auto Lighting Optimizer will be set automatically to [Disable] and the setting cannot be changed.
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].
Depending on the shooting conditions, noise may increase.
In step 2, if you press the <B> button and uncheck <X> the [Disable during man expo] setting, the Auto Lighting Optimizer can also be set in the <a> mode.
