Canon 450D EOS Digital SLR Camera Rebel XSi Auto Lighting Optimizer – Canon EOS 450-D
Let the Canon EOS 450D brighten your day by turning muddy, underexposed shots into bright, beautiful images. When shooting, the Canon 450D DSLR camera analyzes your photos to determine proper exposure and contrast. If a shot is too dark, Auto Lighting Optimizer of Canon 450D applies just the right amount of brightness and contrast to save the day. This intelligent feature can correct underexposed images, shot in AE mode or with a flash, as well as images exhibiting low contrast due to mist or haze. There is also a new face detection in Canon EOS 450-D feature that brightens faces in backlit scenes — ideal for obtaining crisp, nicely exposed portraits and group photos when shooting into the sun. Auto Lighting Optimizer can be turned off when not needed in Creative Zone mode.
