Correcting Image Brightness - Canon PowerShot G15 User Manual

Image Brightness (Exposure Compensation)
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.
To avoid washed-out highlights, specify Dynamic Range Correction. To
preserve image detail in shadows, specify Shadow Correct.
• Under some shooting conditions, correction may be inaccurate or
may cause images to appear grainy.
• You can also correct existing images (= 2 10).
• You can customize camera operation so that turning the <z> or <7> dial
adjusts DR Correction or Shadow Correct settings (= 1 68).
