COLOR-SATURATION COMPENSATION

The color saturation of a scene can be adjusted within seven levels (±3) with the digital effects controller. Colors can be accented or subdued.

The color saturation must be set before the image is captured. When chang- ing the color-saturation setting, an icon will appear in the live image. The monitors will indicate if an increase (+) or decrease (–) in saturation has been made. If color saturation is set to any other value than zero, the icon will remain on the displays as a warning.

FILTER

The overall color of a scene can be adjusted with the digital effects con- troller. The Filter effects differ between the color mode in use, see the color examples on page 155.

The filter must be set before the image is captured. When changing the set- ting, an icon and numeral will indicate the filter controls in effect. Any changes are immediately applied to the monitor image. If the Filter is set to any other setting than zero, the icon will remain on the displays as a warn- ing.

When used with Natural Color, Vivid Color or Adobe RGB, the Filter can be adjusted in seven levels from +3 to –3. A positive adjustment acts like a warming filter. A negative adjustment has the oppo- site effect and makes the image cooler.

When used with the black-and-white color mode, the Filter can tone the neutral monochrome image in eleven steps. The Filter effect cycles from neutral to red, to green, to magenta, to blue, and return- ing to neutral. The zero position is neutral. Black and white filter settings have no effect on RAW images.
