Menu Guide

Image sharpening

Choose how much outlines are sharpened during shooting from Auto, Normal, Low, Medium low, Medium high, High, or None. Choose high settings for sharp outlines, low settings for softer outlines. Default setting is Auto.

Tone compensation

Choose the level of contrast control from Auto, Normal, Less contrast, Medium low, Medium high, More contrast, or Custom. Lower settings prevent loss of detail in highlights under harsh lighting or in direct sunlight. Higher settings preserve detail in misty landscapes and other low-contrast subjects. Default setting is Auto. Choose Custom to select a user-defined tone curve created using Camera Control Pro 2 (available separately; A 156). See the documentation provided with Camera Control Pro 2 for details.

Color mode

Specify the way in which colors are reproduced from the following. Ia (sRGB)

Photographs taken in this mode are adapted to the sRGB color space and are suited to printing or use “as is”, with no further modification. Choose this option for portrait.

II (Adobe RGB)

Photographs taken in this mode are adapted to Adobe RGB color space, which supports a wider gamut of colors than sRGB. This option is the preferred choice for photographs that will be extensively processed or retouched.

IIIa (sRGB) (default setting)

Photographs taken in this mode are adapted to the sRGB color space and are suited to printing or use ”as is”, with no further modification. Choose this option for nature and landscape shots.

Saturation

Choose the level of saturation (color intensity) from Auto, Normal, Moderate, or Enhanced. Choose Moderate for less saturated colors, Enhanced for more vivid colors. Default setting is Auto.

Hue adjustment

Hue can be adjusted between –9° to +9° in increments of 3° (the degrees refer to the “color wheel” often used to express hue). Positive values make reds more orange, greens more blue, and blues more purple. Negative values make reds more purple, blues more green, and greens more yellow. Default setting is ±0.
