To go back to a previous menu option that is no longer visible, call up the menu again using the appropriate Main menu button. The contrast, brightness and gamma controls in the Image menu are all interactive, so settings made with one control may directly affect the setting of another control. All these controls allow extreme settings to be made. However, in normal use, it should never be necessary to set any of the controls far from midpoint. If in doubt, reset the contrast, brightness and gamma controls to midpoint, then make your adjustments in small steps. Better still, use the AUTO feature. Image menu...
