COLOR MODE

Nat. (sRGB)

:move :sel. :enter

The color mode controls whether a still image is color or black and white as well as the color space. This must be set before the image is recorded. Color mode is selected with the function button and the controller (p. 64). The live image on the monitors reflect the selected color mode. The color mode has no effect on image file size.

Vivid Color - increases the saturation of the colors in the scene. The increased saturation affects the RAW image data. Employs the sRGB color space. See the color example on page 2.

Natural Color - reproduces the colors in the scene faithfully. This mode uses no monitor indicator when active. Employs the sRGB color space. See the color example on page 2.

Portrait - optimizes color for portraiture. Employs the sRGB color space.

Embedded Adobe RGB - like Natural Color, this color mode reproduces the colors in the scene faithfully, but uses the extended gamut of the Adobe RGB color space. The color space is embedded in the image file. See the color example on page 2.

Black & White - produces monochrome images. Images can be toned using the Filter setting (p. 73). See the color example on page 2.

When a color mode other than the natural color is set, an indicator is displayed on the monitors.
