If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.123) is set to any setting other
than [Disable], the image may still look bright even if a darker exposure
has been set.
If ISO Auto is set, the ISO speed setting will change to suit the shutter
speed and aperture in order to obtain the standard exposure. Therefore,
you may not obtain the desired exposure effect.
