The following processing are available.

(a) Smooth (1/2)

Reduces snow noise. It is effective especially at high magnification, where originally image itself has defocusing limited by spatial resolution. In this case, nnoise can be reduced without image defocusing.

For lower magnification images, the processing may cause loss of sharpness.

(b) Sharpen (1/2)

Increases image sharpness.

Snow noise may be intensified if the image includes noise.

(c) Edge Enhance (1/2)

Similar but stronger effect of above Sharpen.

(d) Invert

Inverse contrast.

(e) Gamma (15 to +5)

Plus value of Gamma suppress white contrast and brought up dark part. Minus value increases contrast.

NOTICE

(1)The digital processing is applied to saved images and pictures take using Memory photographing. And not applied to pictures taken with Direct photographing.

(2)When you set or changed processing, scanning will be reset to the top of the frame.

(2)Analog signal processing for optional detector signal

To use analog signal processing, Click the Option Signal button in the SIGNAL PROCESSING block on the operation panel.

The Signal Processing dialog window will open.

Select Gamma, Differential 1, Differential 2 or Off. These processing are effective only at slow scanning speeds.

(a) Gamma:

Gamma correction suppresses excessive contrast, maintaining the contrast of the average brightness of the image.
