6.8 ATR (Adaptive Tone Reproduction) Menu
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 in highlighted and
dark areas.

LUMINANCE
MID
Compresses the highlighted areas and enhances the dark areas so that
the entire image can converge toward the medium level.
LOW will compensate minimally and HIGH will be averaging the image
more. With a HIGH setting, 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.
