2.4.2 Setting low-density sections

1

Enable dynamic range adjustment (BRIGHT REGION)

Each time 

[BRIGHT REGION]

 is touched, the setting switches between the highlight 

(white outline characters against a colored background) and normal display. This is 
enabled when in the highlighted state.

2

Set the minimum density

Touch the   or   button, and set the EFFECT parameter within the range between 1 to 
20.
The value on the left is the setting saved previously, and the value on the right is the 
modified value.
This value determines the minimum density assigned to the subject range. Larger values 
result in higher minimum densities, and smaller values result in lower minimum densities.

NOTE:

If the EFFECT parameter is set to a value that is too high, artifacts can occur 
in the image, or the effective data of the exposure image may be damaged. 
Check the exposure image, and if the image is proccessed excessively, either 
set to a smaller minimum density or disable the setting.
