YOU CAN STILL ADJUST BRIGHTNESS OF BRIGHT AREA

The HIGHLIGHTS function makes bright area brighter or darker. It can either increase or decrease brightness data of bright area in your photo.

1. BRIGHTEN BRIGHT AREA

If you increase HIGHLIGHTS, bright area becomes brighter.

**MAZDA automobile factory in Hiroshima, Japan**

I increased HIGHLIGHTS function up to 100.

**Around clouds and smog coming out from factory became bright**

Next example

**Bright areas were brightened. Black area did not change so the photo has contrast.**

If you increase HIGHLIGHTS, the brightest area may lose the details, but the maximum brightness affects special effects on your photos. It has a very impressive impact.

**Beautiful cherry blossom with a special highlight effect**

2. DARKEN BRIGHT AREA

If you decrease HIGHLIGHTS function, the bright area becomes darker. Usually, it is used to keep the details of the highlight.

**The parts of clouds became darker and we can see the clear details.**

There are lights and shadows on the clouds. The area where sunlight hits is very bright, but the other area is a bit dark. Clouds are originally very bright so it may be a hard to see the details clearly. But if you decrease HIGHLIGHTS, shadow parts become darker and we can see the details of the clouds.
