Adjusting the Color and Picture Quality

To adjust the contrast (DARK/LIGHT)

The contrast settings are divided into 15 steps, from
–7 to +7, indicated by a value and graph. The center
of the graph (0) corresponds to the standard setting.

To adjust the sharpness (SHARPNESS/
INTERPOL.)

SHARPNESS:
You can set the sharpness to any of 15 steps from 1
to 15. A setting of step 8 corresponds to the
standard sharpness (default setting).

INTERPOL. (Interpolation):
You can select either ON or OFF depending on the
type of image.

Note

The effectiveness of SHARPNESS may differ
between ON and OFF settings of INTERPOL.
