DLO stands for Digital Lens Optimization. Canon's Raw converter, Digital Photo Professional, includes DLO for most current Canon lens/body combinations. DLO corrects for geometric distortion, chromatic aberration, vignetting, softness, etc. at every focal length and aperture combination AUTOMATICALLY. It's particularly important with zoom lenses, particularly at the wide end of zooms.
DPP is not the only Raw conversion software that includes lens optimization. DxO pioneered it several years ago, so it's part of their Optics Pro software. Lightroom added modules two or three years ago.
DPP comes with all Canon DSLRs, so that's free and give exceptionally good results. DxO offers a one-month free trial. Lightroom is the most used Raw conversion software, but I don't know if they offer a free trial.
Try it. I think you'll be very impressed with the improvements in your lenses. In fact, I don't consider a lens tested until I've run the files DLO.
