By looking through the mail archive this month, I will just shortly add a user comment to the images in the latter url:
(I hope it will fit not too badly into the exiting mail thread)

  * Figure 1. Waveform Scope for an under-exposed shot
  * Figure 2. Waveform Scope after the shot is corrected

Fig. 1 is a typical dark shot in low-light or backlight conditions. I have also experienced similar results after digitizing analog SD video, apparently due to relative low color resolution.

Fig. 2 is the brighter, shiny video or shot result we normally want.

To compare with my smartphone (Pixel 7 Pro), I use "Night Mode" (with AI I think) to lighten up during shooting, or by editing photos with the dynamic or enhance tool.
