Option Description
Auto
The camera automatically adjusts the contrast and brightness of the
image according to shooting conditions.
Normal
The camera performs same standard brightness and contrast
adjustment for all images. This setting is recommended for images
that will later be retouched on a computer.
More Contrast
The image is processed to emphasize the difference between light and
dark areas. This is useful when shooting landscapes and foggy or
cloudy scenes.
Less Contrast
The image is processed to reduce the difference between light and
dark areas. This is useful in conditions where the light is very bright
with strong shadows cast on the subject.
Lighten Image
Increases the brightness of mid-tones in the image without affecting
detail in the highlights and shadows. This setting can be used on
images that appear too dark when displayed or printed.
Darken Image
Decreases the brightness of mid-tones in the image without affecting
detail in the highlights or shadows. This setting can be used on
images that appear too bright when displayed or printed.
