Super Chroma Compensation (SCC) function
This function achieves faithful color images using
the proprietary color compensation technology that
reproduce images even under low illumination where
it is usually difficult to capture objects faithfully.
Note:
Since the color compensation technology is used for
Auto 3, some colors may look different from the
actual objects depending on the light condition.
[Level]
