Saturation
This setting allows you to determine how saturated the colors will be in your pictures.
1In the Capture menu, select Saturation.
2In the Saturation menu, use the
buttons to select a setting. The new setting is applied to the Live View screen behind the menu, so you should be able to see the effect the setting will have on the picture.
3Press OK to save the setting and return to the Capture menu.
The following table helps explain the settings in more detail. Icon Setting Description
+High Emphasizes more vivid colors in a scene. 
Outdoor landscape photography can use
high saturation to create skies that are more blue, or sunsets that are more orange.
None Medium Colors will be normally saturated. This is the default setting.
-Low Mutes colors to achieve a faded photographic 
look. When taking portrait pictures, low
saturation can give a softer, more “natural” look to the subject.
If the new setting is anything other than the default setting of Medium, the icon for the setting (in the table above) will appear at the bottom of the Live View screen.
The new setting remains in effect (even if you turn the camera off) until it is changed again.
