Adjusting the brightness of selected areas (Gamma Correction)

Depending on your TV or viewing environment, images on the screen may lose definition when a certain area of the image is so light that it appears washed out, or so dark that it blends into the surrounding dark areas. By correcting the Gamma value, you can adjust the brightness of selected areas to get a clearer image. While the “BRIGHTNESS” adjustment controls the brightness of the entire image, the “GAMMA” adjustment is useful when only some portions of the image need adjusting.

Example: You are watching a movie that is rich in shadows and you want to see the hidden details of the scenery.

If you use “BRIGHTNESS” adjustment, the entire image will become brighter, losing definition of the areas that were initially bright. The “GAMMA” adjustment enables you to gradually increase the brightness of only the darkest areas of the image without sacrificing the definition of the entire image.
