Operation
If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting.
•Color Temp: Select Color Temp from the Display Color menu to adjust the color temperature. Color temperature establishes the “color of gray” by adjusting the 75% white point to various color points.
What are “color points?” A “color point” is an x/y coordinate pair that defines a color’s location on the standard CIE chromaticity graph, shown in Figure

•Simple: Select Simple mode from the Color Temp menu (with the
the only choice) to choose one of four color temperature presets: 5500K, 6500K, 7500K and 9300K. The default setting, 6500K, is appropriate for most situations. Higher settings produce a “bluer” picture; lower ones impart a reddish hue to the image.
