BRACKETING

In the bracketing drive mode (p. 62), the bracket can be changed between the type indicated by the digital-effects switch and exposure brackets only. Two settings are available:

DEC control – the camera’s initial setting as described on page 62. The type of bracket depends on the position of the digital-effects switch.

Exposure – only exposure brackets will be made regardless of the position of the digital-effects switch.

COLOR PROFILE

Both the camera’s sRGB and Adobe RGB color profile can be automatically embedded into the image file as the picture is captured. To ensure accurate color reproduction when using the Adobe RGB color mode, it is recommended to embed the color profile.

DiMAGE Viewer version 2.1 or later must be used to open images from this camera. When using the Viewer’s color-matching function with images with embedded color profiles, the default color space, Original Color Space (sRGB), in the color preference window will automatically distinguish between the camera’s sRGB and Adobe-RGB color spaces (p. 99). If the profile is not embedded, the color space must be specified manually between Original Color Space (sRGB) or Original Color Space (Adobe RGB). For more on color matching, refer to the DiMAGE Viewer manual.

DELETE CONFIRMATION

Each time a delete command is used a confirmation screen appears confirming the action to erase the image data. When this screen opens, the no button is highlighted. This function allows the yes button to be initially highlighted to make deleting images easier. Care should be taken when deleting images as the data cannot be retrieved once erased.
