DCC (Dynamic Contrast Control): Against a
very bright background with the iris opening
adjusted to the subject, objects in the
background will be lost in the glare. The DCC
function will suppress the high intensity and
restore much of the lost detail and is particularly
effective in the following cases.
• Recording people in the shade on a sunny day
• Recording a subject indoors, against a
background through a window
• Any high contrast scene
