Correcting The Brightness (I-Contrast); Choose An Option - Canon PowerShot SX40 HS Getting Started

Correcting the Brightness (i-Contrast)

The camera can detect areas in an image, such as faces or backgrounds, that
are too dark and automatically adjust them to the optimum brightness. Also,
when the overall image is lacking in contrast, the camera will automatically
correct the image for a sharper impression. You can choose from 4 levels of
correction, and save the image as a new file.
• Under some conditions, the image may appear coarse or may not be
corrected properly.
• Repeatedly adjusting the same image may cause it to appear coarse.
What if the image wasn't corrected by the [Auto] option as
well as you would like?
Choose [Low], [Medium] or [High] and adjust the image.
Movies cannot be corrected.
