This may or may not help. Using my G7X, I took a series of photos with areas of full sun on white surface and areas in shadow. I figured this would challenge the DR mechanism. The first three are in P mode with auto ISO. I'm not seeing a huge difference between standard DR and 200% DR compensation (other than my 200% shot being out of focus), and both did a good job of pulling the flowers out of the shadow. The HDR version looks too dark to me.

Base scene with no DR or shadow correction applied.
Standard DR and shadow correction applied.
HDR doesn't work at all, and the first normal shot the grass that is in the sun looks like its in dark shadows, but the one done with the DR and shadow raising the grass looks like its in the sun and the shadows under the tree are less deep. To me the only shot that looks normal here are the ones done with DR enhancement, which I assume was Icontrast.

There was some big discussion about this in the past. It's not labeled as icontrast in function menu. It's DR correction and shadow correct. Icontrast is in playbakc mode. Not sure how they're related, but likely icontrast is the same as shadow correct as you've surmised, though the settings are different in playback mode (low med high).
Exactly. The manual at p.77 says i-Contrast (in shooting modes) involves two functions of Dynamic Range Correction (correcting for blown highlights) and Shadow Correct, which are controlled independently.
