Gamma is an image quality enhancement function that offers a richer image by brightening the darker portions of the image without altering the brightness of the brighter portions.

Four gamma settings are available to allow for differences in the images displayed and in the brightness of the room.

When you are displaying images with frequent, dark scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are displaying images in a bright room, this feature makes the dark scenes easier to see and gives the impression of greater depth in the image.

1 Press GAMMA. Each time GAMMA is pressed,

the gamma level toggles as shown on the left.

2 To return to the standard image, press UNDO while “GAMMA” is displayed on the screen.

You can use this tool by accessing the “Button Assign” list on your GyroRemote. Choose popup list “4/5” and press Function (1). (See page 33 ).

The CUSTOM setting of VIDEO mode optimizes the video source to reproduce the image more beautifully. It darkens bright portions of the image and gives greater depth to darker portions of the image.

Select CUSTOM as your default setting if you prefer a smooth textured image to a sharply contrasted one.

STANDARD and CINEMA settings of VIDEO mode (except COMPONENT 480P/720P/1080i) incorporate a DYNAMIC GAMMA function for optimizing GAMMA correction frame by frame in real time, thus providing a more beautiful image.

PRESENTATION settings are the same for both RGB and VIDEO modes.
