 Gamma (Gamma Correction)
Gamma is an image quality enhancement function
that offers a richer image by brightening the darker
portions of the image without altering the bright-
ness of the brighter portions.
When you are displaying images with frequent dark
scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are
displaying images in a bright room, this feature
makes the dark scenes easier to see and gives the
impression of greater depth in the image.
Select “Gamma” on the “Picture” menu and
the desired gamma mode.
