Yeah, it exposes people in the foreground differently than the rest of the picture. That's still trying to fit them into 8-bit - basically it's trying to avoid the "black people don't activate soap dispensers" effect where dark skin isn't visible in a dark picture.

Larger cameras don't do that specific one, but they do care about skin in white balance and autofocus, and then photographers expose it specially in Lightroom or with flashes.

It's somewhat overtuned though.
