Using Color Restoration to Correct the Color of an Old Photograph

Color restoration let you correct the old color of a photograph shot with a digital camera. This function is useful for correcting existing old photographs, posters, etc.

Performing color restoration on an image causes a new (restored) 2M (1600 × 1200 pixels) size image to be stored as a separate file.

1.In the PLAY mode, use [W] and [X] to scroll through images and display the snapshot you want to correct.

2.Press [MENU].

3.On the “PLAY” tab, select “Color Correction” and then press [X].

4.Use [W] and [X] to select the photograph candidate you want.

5.Use [S] and [T] to select “Trim”, and then

press [SET].

This displays a cropping boundary on the monitor screen.

To exit color restoration without storing anything, select “Cancel”.

6.Press the zoom button to zoom the cropping boundary.

The size of the area you can select with the cropping boundary will depend on the size of the currently displayed image.

7.Use [S], [T], [W], and [X] to move the cropping boundary to the location you want and then press [SET].

The camera will correct color automatically and save the corrected image.

If you do not want a border around the image, configure the cropping boundary so it is slightly inside of the boundary of the displayed image.

To exit color restoration without saving anything, press [MENU].
