I have a 7D and this feature shows disabled. I have no option to enable it and select options. I checked the manual and there was no help. Any ideas?

Perhaps it's used for car photos. 8-)

Step out of the Auto Modes and it will appear.
See pages 51, 59 and 77 of the updated users manual.

Some menu options won't appear if the mode you are in, i.e. auto, dosen't support it. Try M, TV, AP or P

I do not have a Canon 7D but looked this one up:
works with jpg only
Turn off Highlight Tone Priority
Refer to 7D manual pages 209 and 75 respectively

I have a Magic Lantern Guide for the 7D and it states that you have to be in Live View or Movie shooting mode. Also it is disabled if C.Fn II-3 is enabled. Hope this helps. TNmike

On most, if not all, cameras the Auto Mode disables some options since they are considered to be for the "more serious" shooting! If you then use the Program Mode (if avail) you would actually be starting with the same settings as Auto if you don't tweak the settings, and would have access to almost all options available for the particular camera.

Leave it off.
Good advice but I will add why you should leave it off, if it is turned on it can add noise to your pictures. Cheers :thumbup:
