Guide Print Function

Selecting the Guide Print-RGB or Guide Print-DLGm layout before printing enables you to print a guide picture that has each of the RGB or DLGm parameters changed.

Guide pictures can be printed on UPC-X46 series, UPC- X45 series, and UPC-X34 series paper.

The following is an example of a guide picture printout.

Guide Print-RGB (adjusting RGB parameters)

Selecting the Guide Print-RGB layout before printing enables a guide picture (adjustment simulation) to be printed for the RGB parameters. Since the picture used for printing is the picture being played back on the camera, you can actually adjust the picture quality while

looking at the picture.

The picture in the center is printed using the current color tone adjustment values. Six playback images of differing color are printed around this picture.

The current state of each of the DARK, LIGHT, and GAMMA parameters is displayed for reference.

This is a picture showing the current state of the RED, GREEN, and BLUE parameters.

This is a picture showing the RED parameter decreased by 3 from the current state.

The subject appears a little darker than in the current picture, and overall the picture appears slightly cyan.

This is a picture showing the GREEN parameter increased by 3

from the current state.

The white saturated parts remain white and do not change. The

subject appears a little lighter than in the current picture, and slightly green.

This is a picture showing the BLUE parameter increased by 3 from the current state.

The white saturated parts remain white and do not change. The subject appears a little lighter than in the current picture, and slightly blue.

This is a picture showing the GREEN parameter decreased by 3 from the current state.

The subject appears a little darker than in the current picture, and overall the picture appears slightly magenta.

This is a picture showing the RED parameter increased by 3 from the current state.

The white saturated parts remain white and do not change. The subject appears a little lighter than in the current picture, and slightly red.

This is a picture showing the BLUE parameter decreased by 3 from the current state.

The subject appears a little darker than in the current picture, and overall the picture appears slightly yellow.

Shooting conditions of the camera

The values below each of the pictures are for the R, G, and B parameters. If, for example, you want to use the color tone on the top left in the figure above, set the B parameter to +3 because (RED, GREEN, BLUE) = (0, 0, +3).

If you want to adjust (RED, GREEN, BLUE) = (0, 0, +3) further, set the B parameter to +3, and then print another Guide Print-RGB. This will give you a simulation for each color variation with (RED, GREEN, BLUE) = (0, 0, +3) in the center.
