Picture Settings, Contrast, Sharpness, Saturation | Sigma C72900

PICTURE SETTINGS

It is possible to adjust the recording image parameter (contrast, sharpness and saturation).

Contrast

Contrast can be increased by moving the cursor to + side, or decreased, preserving image detail, by moving the cursor to - side.

Sharpness

It is possible to make the pictures appear sharper, by moving the cursor to + side, or softer by moving the cursor to – side,.

Saturation

It is possible to increase saturation thus making pictures appear vivid, if the cursor is moved to + side. Moving the cursor to – side, decreases saturation and makes images less vivid.

Picture Settings can be set in [ Capture Settings] (P.26) →

[Picture Settings].

Use the arrows on the 4-way controller to select [Contrast], [Saturation], [Sharpness] from [Picture Settings],

then press the arrows on the 4-way controller to adjust the compensation.

Press the button to apply the setting

or the button to close the sub-menu without making any changes.

If you adjust image parameters, their icon is displayed on the left of the color LCD monitor.

TIP

•JPEG is compressed after parameter adjustment. In the case of RAW format, parameter information is recorded without adjustment. It is possible to re-adjust RAW images using the supplied Sigma Photo Pro software.
