Image Brightness (Exposure Compensation)

Still Images

Correcting Image Brightness (i-Contrast)

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.

You can also correct existing images (=210).

You can customize camera operation so that turning the <z> or <7> dial adjusts DR Correction or Shadow Correct settings (=168).
