Changes in color, sharpness, contrast, and saturation can be made using the custom 2 section of the
multi-function recording mode menu (p.56). These imaging controls give photographers the ability to
optimise the image information at the scene.For example, if a scene is too contrasty, information can
be lost in the shadows and highlights;decreasing
the contrast will bring out more detail.
Any changes made with these functions are
applied to the live image on the monitor.The color
mode, sharpness, contrast, and color saturation
levels must be set before the image is recorded.
These functions can be used individually or in com-
bination.Turning the camera off will not reset these
functions;they must be manually reset using the
menu.
