4.5 ATR (Adaptive Tone Reproduction) menu
(WDR)
The ATR feature improves the dynamic range and the visibility of the image by providing the optimal
gradation compensation of the image in one field. This is achieved by two ways of image processing,
luminance compression and contrast enhancement, so that the tone can be enhanced at highlighted and
dark areas.

Descriptions
LUMINANCE
MID
Compresses the highlighted area and enhances the dark area so that the
entire image can converge toward the medium level.
LOW will compensate minimally and HIGH will average out the image.
With setting HIGH, the image may look less contrastive and noise may
increase in the dark area.
CONTRAST
MID
Adjusts the strength of the image contrast.
If set to too high, the dark area may lose detail and the high luminance
area may saturate.
