stretcher function.
It enables the dynamic range to be expanded by compressing the level of the
video signals in the high-brightness areas where overexposure results during
normal shooting.
[1], [2], [3]
f The higher the value of the setting, the higher the compression level of the high-
brightness areas and the level of noise in dark areas.
GAMMA
Selects the gamma curve.
