Canon EOS 450D Automatic Lighting Optimizer

The Canon EOS 450D digital camera has some great added features to the camera and its software.
Today we are going to talk about it`s Auto Lighting Optimizer feature, this is a great feature that analizes dark areas of the image and brightens them up.
There are four conditions that the auto lighting optimizer can improve and affect the brightness of the image and these conditions are.

1. AE Underexposed

2. Insufficient flash light output

3. Backlit subject

4. Low Contrast

1. AE underexposed is a condition that when taking a photo of landscape, when white subject is in front of a white back ground the photo becomes under exposed due to metering setting and characteristics the under exposure is improved with the auto lighting optimizer.
The picture is then brightened and the contrast is adjusted to make the picture brighter.

2. Insufficient flash light output is when the light from the flash unit has not reached the subject and the subject remains dark from the insufficient light.
The optimizer brightens and adjusts the contrast of the image to improve the photo.

3. backlit subject- this is a condition where the background of the image is to bright, so darkening the subject in the front of the picture the auto lighting optimizer sees and analizes the picture this then brightens the subject image at the front to improve the photo and lightens up the dark areas.

4. Low Contrast is a condition that is made even by a cloudy day that the sun cant break through the clouds and this makes low contrast the optimizer brightens the image by lightening the contrast up and inproving the image.
