If the image comes out dark or the contrast is low, the brightness and
contrast can be corrected automatically. With JPEG images, the
correction is done when the image is captured. For RAW images, it can
be corrected with Digital Photo Professional (provided software).
The default setting is [Standard].
Depending on the shooting conditions, noise might increase.
If a setting other than [Disable] is set and you use exposure
compensation, flash exposure compensation, or manual exposure to
darken the exposure, the image might still come out bright. If you want a
darker exposure, set this to [Disable] first.
In Basic Zone modes, [Standard] is set automatically.
