Correcting Image Brightness (i-Contrast)

Before shooting, excessively bright or dark image areas (such as faces or
backgrounds) can be detected and automatically adjusted to the optimal
brightness. Insufficient overall image contrast can also be automatically
corrected before shooting to make subjects stand out better.
● Under some shooting conditions, correction may be inaccurate or
may cause images to appear grainy.
You can also correct existing images ( = 75).
