Minolta 7i instruction manual Digital Effects Control

DIGITAL EFFECTS CONTROL

The Digital Effects Controller is a powerful tool. As well as being able to make adjustments to expo- sure, the controller can also change image contrast, color, and saturation. The effect of any change is instantly visible on the monitors before the image is captured. Since compensation is applied to the image before it is compressed and saved, image information can be optimised before leaving the scene. The digital effects controller can be used with movie recording.

Operating the controller is very simple:

Turn the digital-effect switch to the image characteristic to be adjusted.

Exposure	Contrast
Color-saturation	Filter

Press and hold the digital-effects button (1) in the center of the switch and adjust the setting by turn- ing the control dial (2) next to the shutter-release button. Release the digital-effects button to set the adjustment.

Adjustments can be made repeatedly and in combination.	2
Adjustments remain in effect until manually reset. When set
to any value other than zero, an icon will be displayed on
the monitors as a warning.
To adjust flash compensation, the up/down keys of the con-
troller are used instead of the control dial. See
page 68.
