Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB Shooting)

(standard exposure, underexposure, and then overexposure) each time

(relative to standard exposure) from –2 to +2 stops in 1/3-stop increments.

Correcting Image Brightness (i-Contrast)

Before shooting, excessively bright or dark image areas (such as faces or
backgrounds) can be detected and automatically adjusted to the optimal
brightness.
To avoid washed-out highlights, specify Dynamic Range Correction. To
preserve image detail in shadows, specify Shadow Correct.

Under some shooting conditions, correction may be inaccurate or
may cause images to appear grainy.

You can also correct existing images (

=

134

).
