Creative Style Settings
Control dial L
(Standard) For shooting various scenes with rich gradation and
beautiful colors.
(Vivid) The saturation and contrast are heightened for
shooting striking images of colorful scenes and
subjects such as flowers, spring greenery, blue sky,
or ocean views.
(Neutral) The saturation and sharpness are lowered for
capturing images in a quiet tone. This is also
suitable for capturing image material to be modified
with a computer.
z To use the D-Range Settings effectively
By combining the DRO/Auto HDR manual setting (exposure difference/
DRO-Level) and the exposure compensation, you can control the range of the
contrast of light and shadow (gradations) to be reproduced.
With DRO, set a DRO-Level to reproduce the shadow side, and set a minus
value of exposure compensation to reproduce the light side. A large minus
compensation and DRO-Level setting may cause noise. It is recommended that
you check the result first, by enlarging the playback image, etc.
With Auto HDR, set the exposure difference to adjust the overall reproduction
range, and shift the range towards light side (minus compensation) or shadow
side (plus compensation) with the exposure compensation.
