5-5. Expressing the gradation of a picture (Knee, Gamma)
Due to bright
sunny weather or lighting, “blown-out highlights” can sometimes occur, where bright
areas look completely white. This is a phenomenon caused by the luminance signals that are out
of the camera’s Dynamic Range (processing range). In order to put such high-brightness input
signals within the Dynamic Range, Knee function can be used to compress the gradation.
