Quite so.

The report makes it clear that being inverted didn't directly affect the operation of the camera.

Instead, it's a reference to the fact that both the pilot's and the camera's view of the instruments was affected when the panel was partly in sunlight and partly in shadow (e.g. when the aircraft was inverted) and particularly when the aircraft's relationship to the sun was rapidly changing (i.e. during aerobatic manoeuvres), hence the reference to "image contrast" in Lemain's quote.

Edit: Beat me to it!
