This function automatically determines the brightness of the scene shown on the LCD and adjusts the brightness of the backlight in real-time. It displays images with crisp contrast according to the actual scene (darker for dark portions, brighter for bright portions).

Inverter Technology
Unique to Panasonic microwave ovens, the conventional transformer and capacitor have been replaced with an Inverter circuit board. This has many benefits including reducing the weight of the oven, maximising the cooking capacity and most importantly; due to better power control, improving the cooking performance.
IPS
IPS stands for In-Plane-Switching. It was co-developed by key manufacturers including Panasonic, Hitachi and Toshiba. IPS mode system technology is used in TFT LCD displays. It delivers a very wide viewing angle of up to 170 degrees, both horizontally and vertically, with minimal gray-scale inversion (ie, when the screen starts to look blacked out when viewed from the sides). IPS works because the liquid crystal molecules inside the display rotate and therefore remain parallel to the substrate when voltage is applied. This results in perfect orientation of the crystals. An 'Advanced Super' (AS)-IPS mode system is also available for further LCD picture improvements.
Iris Adjustment
To achieve special creative effects or to cope with special lighting situations the iris (F-number) can be adjusted manually to let in more light.
ISO (Sensitivity)
A value used to indicate a film's sensitivity to light. ISO also stands for the International Standards Organization. Since no similarly defined standard exists for digital cameras, the term "ISO 100 equivalent" is used. A larger ISO value indicates that the camera can take a better picture in dimly lit locations (such as indoors).
