In addition to the [NORMAL] gradation setting, you can select from 2 other gradation
settings.
HIGH KEY (H) : Extended bright gradations.
LOW KEY (L) : Extended dark gradations.
NORMAL : Use [NORMAL] mode for general uses.
MENU[W][GRADATION]
In some cases, the edges of the image may be shadowed due to the properties of the lens.
The shading compensation function compensates by increasing brightness at the dark edge
of the image. This function is especially useful when a wide-angle lens is used.
MENU[Z][SHADING COMP.]
[OFF]/[ON]
This function reduces the noise that is generated during long exposures. When shooting night
scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to appear in images. When the shutter
speed is slow, noise reduction is activated and the camera automatically reduces noise to
produce clearer images. However, shooting time is approximately twice as long as usual.
