Adjusting video image settings
You may need to adjust the camera image depending on the location background in
order to get the best image quality.

the brightness, saturation, contrast, and hue values using the Customize option.
Adjustments to the settings affect both live view and recorded images.
Note: These options can also be modified from the image settings button on the live
view quick access toolbar (see “Accessing frequently used commands” on page 34.)

If “Customize” is selected, adjust the brightness, saturation, contrast, and hue
values by dragging each scroll bar.
