Correcting The Gamma Value - Canon CanoScan FB 1200S User Manual

Correcting the Gamma Value

Individual monitors reproduce colors in characteristic ways that are
summarized by their 'gamma values.' The gamma values of most
monitors fall within a range of 1.4 to 2.2, which reproduces colors
slightly darker than the original. To faithfully reproduce the original
colors, it is necessary to compensate for your monitor's gamma value
with the FilmGet FAU setting. The program generally adjusts the
monitor's gamma value to 1.8, but if your monitor does not operate
at this value, you will need to adjust it.
The gamma value will automatically be set when a color matching
system is active.
