Gamma Disp. Assist
Movies with S-Log gamma are assumed to be processed after shooting in order to make use of the wide dynamic range.
They are therefore displayed in low contrast during shooting and may be difficult to monitor, using [Gamma Disp. Assist],
contrast equivalent to that of normal gamma can be reproduced. In addition, [Gamma Disp. Assist] can also be applied
when playing back movies on the camera's monitor/viewfinder.

Note
When [Gamma Disp. Assist] is set to [Auto] during playback, the picture is displayed based on the current gamma setting in

[Gamma Disp. Assist] is not applied to movies when displayed on a TV or monitor connected to the camera.
