I have not fully understood this camera's feature.
Does it have an effect on the photo taken by the camera or is it an aid when using the cameras monitor.

Correct me if I'm wrong but when I first saw the feature in the camera's menu I thought it was to lighten the shadows in the darker areas of the scene on a bright sunny day.

If you are strictly talking about the "Shading Compensation" which is an option under the REC Menu, cannot be assigned to any fn keys. it is actually in-camera correction on vignetting. This is at the sole discretion of the camera to apply the correction when the camera thinks fit to do so.

It is either On or Off. I have it always ON.

iDynamic is another thing. Together with iResolution, these 2 features are assignable to any fn keys, and has various setting from Auto, High, Standard... Off. iDynamic is sort of in-camera HDR, automatically applied by the camera when required, but at a much minor effect than the HDR feature (takes 3 shots and auto merging into HDR in-camera).

It is similar to the Gradation of Olympus, DRO (Dynamic Range Optimiser) of Sony or D-Lighting of Nikon, which AFAIK is a playing on the Crvue.

Like iResoultion (sharpening effect), I set both to Standard as default. BTE all these are for SOOC jpg only.

Thanks Albert.

It's useful to know this. 
I'm not good on short hand what is SOOC?
