Correcting Image Brightness (i-Contrast)
• For some images, correction may be inaccurate or may cause
images to appear grainy.
• Images may look grainy after repeated editing using this function.
• If [Auto] does not produce the expected results, try correcting images using
[Low], [Medium], or [High].
