turn the display off).
Fixed — Sets the display brightness to a fixed level (ALS is off); use the
slider to adjust the display to the desired brightness level
Dynamic — Sets the display so that the system adjusts the brightness to
the preferred level under changing lighting conditions while maintaining
viewability (ALS is on)
Setting “Dynamic” Display Brightness: ALS On. When you turn on the
ALS, the display will automatically brighten if you move from dim to bright
light (within the range supported by the hardware), or automatically dim if
you move to an environment with a lower level of lighting. You may not be
able to visibly detect the adjustment. Using ALS also helps to reduce power
consumption when possible.

The system will then auto-

NOTE: In low-light settings, the “Fixed” brightness setting
may keep the display brighter than is needed for good
viewability. Keeping the brightness always at the same level
may also use more battery power than necessary.
