Tip: Choosing the Black Point, White Point, and Mid-Point
• Adjusting brightness: To make the image
brighter, move the mid-point to the
left. Moving the mid-point to the right
makes the image darker.
• Correcting exposure: If the image is over-
exposed, move the black point to the
right until it lines up with the darkest
pixel in the histogram. If the image is
underexposed, move the white point
to the left until it lines up with the
brightest pixel. You can then move the
mid-point left or right to adjust bright-
ness.
Correcting overexposure
• Increasing contrast: To increase contrast,
align the black point and white point
with the darkest and brightest pixels.
You can then move the mid-point left
or right to adjust brightness.
Caution
• Level correction is available only with still images taken with this
camera. It is not available for movies or pictures taken using S-
Cont or M-Cont.
• The desired results may not be achieved with monochrome im-
ages.
• Although level correction can be applied multiple times, the
compression applied every time a copy is saved will result in a
drop in image quality.
