Correcting Image Brightness (i-Contrast)
Excessively dark image areas (such as faces or backgrounds) can be
detected and automatically adjusted to the optimal brightness. Insufficient
overall image contrast is also automatically corrected, to make subjects stand
out better. Choose from four correction levels, and then save the image as a
separate file.
• For some images, correction may be inaccurate or may cause
images to appear grainy.
• Images may look grainy after repeated editing using this function.
• RAW images cannot be edited this way.
• If [Auto] does not produce the expected results, try correcting images using
[Low], [Medium], or [High].
