Adjusting Brightness; Adjusting Contrast - Canon FS 3.6 User Manual

Adjusting Brightness

This method adjusts the brightness of the entire image, which is effective for
images that are too bright or too dark overall. One must be careful, however, not
to raise the respective values too high or low to avoid creating excessive highlights
or obscuring shadows.
Brightness = 128 (Standard)

Adjusting Contrast

Contrast is the degree of deviation between light and dark areas. Raising the
contrast accentuates the difference between the light and dark areas. Lowering
the contrast reduces the difference between the two.
Contrast = 128 (Standard)
Raising the contrast of pictures with a blurred focus is effective in adding clarity to
the image. Raising the contrast too high, however, will obscure the dark portions
or create excessive highlights.
