HIBRIGHT LCD

Monitor brightness can be increased so that the monitor is easier to view in bright outdoor conditions. Simply press and hold the display button; monitor brightness increases. If the button is pressed and held again, the monitor returns to normal brightness. The Hibright LCD indicator appears on the monitor when active.

Hibright LCD can also be turned on or off in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 38).

SHARPNESS

Sharpness accents or softens details in an image in three levels: hard (+), normal, and soft (–). This can be set in section 3 of the recording menu (p. 38). Sharpness cannot be changed when using digital subject programs.

Any changes made are applied to the live image, but may be difficult to see. However, when viewed with a computer, the changes will be evident. If any level except normal is selected, an indicator appears on the monitor as a warning.

The color mode controls whether an image is color or black and white. The color mode is set in section 3 of the still-image recording menu or in section 2 of the movie/audio recording menu (p. 38). The color mode cannot be changed with digital subject programs. The color mode can be assigned to the controller (p. 57).

The black & white mode produces neutral monochrome images. Sepia creates warm-tone monochrome images. The monitor live image reflects the selected color mode. The color option uses no monitor indicator when active. The color mode has no effect on image file size.
