IMAGE CONTROL - SHARPNESS, CONTRAST, & FILTER

Changes in color, sharpness, and contrast can be made using the custom 2 section of the multi- function recording mode menu (p. 54). The sharpness, contrast and filter imaging controls give photographers the ability to maximize the image information at the scene.

Any changes made with these functions are applied to the live image on the monitor. Changes made to sharpness and contrast may be difficult to see on the monitor. However, when viewed on a computer, the changes will be evident. The levels must be set before the image is recorded. If any setting other than normal or off is selected, an indicator will be displayed showing an increase (+) or decrease (–) in the quality selected. Turning the camera off will not reset these functions.
