Setting the Smart Shade Control

The smart shade control function differs from backlight compensation in that only dark areas are brightened while bright areas are kept intact.

.

(1) [Smart Shade Control] - Set to [Off] or [On].

(2) Adjusting the Smart Shade Control - When smart shade control is [On], set one of the 7 levels from [1] (Mild) 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.

Note

• When [On] is selected for smart shade control, the image file size increases.

• When [On] is selected for smart shade control, screen noise may increase. If noise is noticeable, lower the control level.
