decrease so that dark areas do not become black (i.e., "crushed"). Conversely, overly
high brightness changes black to dark gray, causing washed-out images. See 3.5
Adjusting the Image (Image Settings subsection).
Gamma
Gamma
"Gamma" is a global setting that determines what gray shades are displayed between
minimum output (black) and maximum output (white) for all signals. The proper
setting helps maintain optimized blacks and whites while ensuring a smooth
transition for the "in-between" values utilized in colors. Thus, unlike brightness and
contrast settings controls, the overall tone of your images can be lightened or
darkened without changing the two extremes, and all images will be more vibrant yet
with good detail in dark areas.
The normal gamma setting of 2.22 is correct for most signals and conditions. If
excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to
see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. Conversely, if the
image shows excessive detail in black areas, increase the gamma setting. Again, good
gamma improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks.
