Possible to add an option for Highlight Tone Priority in the first tab of ML menu, preferably right under WB, Shutter, Aperture,ISO?
It seems even more important now more than ever with all the progress in RAW video rec and other things where people need to be more mindful of it being on or off.
I, for one, constantly change it on or off just as much as one would change ISO or shutter speed, depending on the scene.


I had posted about adding HTP or D+ to movie logging, which has been done in the main builds, from what I was told.
I feel like HTP has remained a strangely hidden item in Canon's menus and seems to have remained elusive even in the ML menus.
I always add it to my My Menu area in the vanilla menus, but it really deserves a place next to ISO in the ML menu, imo. It would let me free up a much needed slot in the My Menu section of all my cameras too.

HTP is a very powerful and also potentially very harmful setting, both for IQ and for ML under runs and bugs, that often goes unchanged and/or unnoticed on many intermediate users' cameras.

It would be really amazing if some further development went into a ML version of HTP too, since people have come up with ways to improve upon other ISO and exposure related settings before, this would really be great if someone put some work into it! Imagine a way to have the superior highlights rolloff without as much of an intense loss in IQ.

This should really be part of the log file as its own field or just by adding a + next to the ISO the same way Canon shows it.
It's VERY important to know whether it was on or off when doing tests and comparisons. EXTREMELY important!
The built-in canon info shows whether it was on or off when reviewing in the camera so it shouldn't be hard at all to add this.
This is just as important as showing which ISO you were on!
D+ changes the behavior and characteristics of every ISO setting as well as the dynamic range of the picture substantially.

This is only noticed so far on the 5dMkiii running Alpha 3 as it's the only one I have.
