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

may cause images to appear grainy.
