or right to adjust brightness.

 

•Increasing contrast: To increase contrast, align the black point and white point with the darkest and brightest pixels as shown at right. You can then move the mid-point left or right to adjust brightness.

Cautions

•Level compensation is available only with still images taken using this camera body. It is not available with movies or pictures taken using M-Cont Plus. The desired results may not be achieved with monochrome images.

•Level compensation can be applied multiple times, however, the quality of the image will be degraded each time by recompression.
