Changes in colour, sharpness, contrast, and saturation can be made using the custom 2 section of
the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 50). These imaging controls give photographers the ability
to maximize the image information at the scene. For example, if a scene is too contrasty, information
can be lost in the shadows and highlights;
decreasing the contrast will bring out more detail.
Any changes made with these functions are
applied to the live image on the monitor. The colour
mode, sharpness, contrast, and colour saturation
levels must be set before the image is recorded. If
sharpness, contrast, or colour saturation is set to
any setting other than normal, an icon will be
displayed indicating an increase (+) or decrease (–)
in the quality selected. Turning the camera off will
not reset these functions; they must be manually
reset using the menu.
Unlike the display on a computer, changes made
with sharpness, contrast, and colour saturation
may be difficult to see on the LCD monitor. However, when viewed with imaging software, the
changes will be evident.
