Adjusting the areas of an image that are too light or dark (Gamma Correction) Depending on your TV or viewing environment, images on the screen may lose definition because certain areas of the image are too light or too dark. When it is too light, the image will appear to be washed out, and when it is too dark, the image will blend into the surrounding dark areas. By correcting the Gamma value, you can alter the brightness of selected areas so that the image can be seen clearly. Since the BRIGHTNESS adjustment controls the brightness of the entire image, the Gamma adjustment is useful when you need to increase the brightness of just the area that is too bright or too dark. Example: You are watching a movie that is rich in shadows and you want to be able to see the details of the scenery hidden in these shadows. If you use the BRIGHTNESS function to increase the brightness, the brightness of the entire image will increase, thus causing the light areas of the image to become washed out. By using the Gamma Correction feature, you can gradually increase the brightness of just the dark areas of an image without sacrificing the detail of the entire image. 1 Select "VIDEO CONTROL" using M/m and press ENTER. 2 Select "PB MEMORYt" or memory number you want to correct the gamma value by pressing M/m and press ENTER.
