Control contrast. Higher values are recommended for scenes that include both sunlight and
deep shade or for increased contrast with such subjects as sunlight on water, brightly-lit autumn
leaves, portraits taken against a blue sky, and white objects or people wearing white; note, how-

AUTO
is selected, the cam-
era will automatically select values between 100% and 400% in response to shooting conditions.
