(2) Adjusting the Smart Shade Control
When smart shade control is [On], set one of the 7
levels from [1] (weak) to [7] (strong).
Example: If the background is bright and the subject
is hard to see, this function brightens dark areas to
make the subject clearer.
In comparison to backlight compensation, smart
shade control can reduce overexposure of bright
areas.
