Gamma
Gamma
defines the relationship between a pixel's
numerical value and its actual luminance
(brightness).
While the gamma setting affects the
brightness of a display, it is not identical to the
brightness. This is because the gamma adjustments
are not linear, like brightness levels are. Instead, the
gamma setting applies a function to the input
levels, which produces the final output level.
Therefore, the gamma setting affects both the
brightness
and the
contrast
of the display.
Moving the slider to the left darkens the image,
while moving the gamma slider to the right
brightens the image.
Notice what happens to the data in the Histogram
while you adjust the gamma.
The range is from
0
to
0.63
Data algorithm
This allows you to select Linear (
Line
) of Logarithmic
(
Logarithm
) as the mathematical algorithm to
display your
data
.
A
linear
histogram is a representation of how the
camera sees the data.
A l
ogarithmic
histogram is a representation of how
our eyes sees the data.
Compare the shape of the
Histogram
graph as
you switch from
Line
to
Logarithm.
Default
This control resets these module controls back to
the factory defaults which is,
RGB
color level
adjustments are manual with a
linear
representation of the data and the
Gamma
is set
to 0.28.
