Selecting the Contrast
The contrast option allows you to adjust the amount of gradation between areas of
different brightness in the image. Three settings are available: HIGH, NORMAL, and
LOW.
HIGH
Creates a starkly contrasted image. Light areas may wash out white and
darker areas may turn black, creating a reverse film (slide film) effect.
(However, bright areas could easily wash out or dark areas turn black.)
NORMAL
Achieves medium gradation for a natural appearance. Best selection for
most pictures.
LOW
Achieves low contrast, ideal for images that you intend to process with a
graphics software application on a computer.
