Max Gain = 0.5
Fixed Adaptive Mode
The fixed adaptive mode uses a fixed range based on the contrast setting to map pixels
from 16-bit to 8-bit. The size of this range does not change, regardless of the scene
content, ensuring a constant contrast. That is, the range moves with the average pixel
value, whatever it is. Therefore, to ensure optimal mapping, use a contrast setting that
best suits the expected scene.

If the image scene changes, the size of
the range to map remains the same.
