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.

Select “VIDEO CONTROL” using  M/ m  

Select  “PB MEMORYt” or memory number you
