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.
