When the image is too dark, the part to the left is cut off (dark portions)
and when the image is too bright, the part to the right is cut off (bright
portions).
Understanding Contrast
The graph peaks gradually for images in which contrast is balanced. The
graph peaks on both sides but sinks in the middle for images with a large
difference in contrast and low amounts of mid-level brightness.
This camera is equipped with an electronic level for detecting whether
the camera is level. When [Electronic Level] is set to O (On), the
electronic level can be displayed by pressing the 4/W button.
A bar graph indicating the horizontal camera angle appears at the
bottom of the screen, and a bar graph indicating the vertical camera
angle appears on the right side.
