To adjust gamma
Gamma can be adjusted. The brightness of the monitor varies depending on the input signal,
however, the variation rate is not simply proportional to the input signal. The control performed to
keep the balance between the input signal and the brightness of the monitor is called “Gamma
correction”.

The gamma curve can be adjusted to L* by using SelfCalibration or ColorNavigator 6. For details,
see
“4-4. Setting the calibration targets” (page 38)
or the ColorNavigator 6 User's Manual (stored on the
CD-ROM).

To set color gamut
Set the color reproduction area (color gamut). “Color gamut” is the range of colors that devices such
as monitors, digital cameras and printers can express. Various standards are defined.
