e explanation of gamma,A fuller and more up-to-dat including how to obtain it for slanted-edge MTF calculations Gamma (the average slope of log pixel levels as a function of log exposure for light through dark gray tones) is used, per the ISO 12233 standard, to linearize the input data, i.e., to remove the gamma encoding applied by the camera or RAW converter. Gamma defaults to 0.5 = 1/2, which is typical of digital cameras, but may be affected by camera or RAW converter settings. Imatest Settings
If the edge contrast is known and is ≤ 10:1 (medium or low contrast), you can enter the edge contrast in the Chart contrast (for gamma calc.) box, then check the Use for MTF checkbox. Gamma will be then be calculated for each individual edge in the chart image and displayed in the Edge/MTF plot. Full details, including the equation, are on Gamma and MTF Measurement. Measuring Gamma
Errors in GammaSmall errors in gamma have a minor effect on MTF measurements (a 10% error in gamma results in a 2.5% error in MTF50 for a normal contrast target). Gamma should be set to 0.45 when dcraw is used to convert RAW images into sRGB or a gamma=2.2 (Adobe RGB) color space. If gamma is set to less than 0.3 or greater than 0.8, the background will be changed to pink to indicate an unusual (possibly erroneous) selection. Technical Details

1. Capture One LE set to Film standard (the default). Gamma = 0.679.
![]() To obtain the correct MTF, Imatest must linearize the pixel levels— the camera’s gamma encoding must be removed. That is the Characteristic curves for the Canon EOS-10D with three RAW converter settings are shown on the right. Gamma deviates
2. Capture One LE, Linear response. Gamma = 0.508. Recommended for SFR runs.
Confusion factor: Digital cameras rarely apply an exact gamma curve: A “tone reproduction curve” (an “S” curve) is The transfer function may also be adaptive: camera gamma may be higher for low contrast scenes than for contrasty To learn more about gamma, read Tonal quality and dynamic range in digital cameras and Monitor calibration.
3. Canon FVU set to Standard contrast. Gamma = 0.642
