On the other hand, the lower the recording quality (compression rate), the higher the number of possible shots will be.
  • Page 55: Setting The Iso Speed

    Setting the ISO Speed The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a high ISO speed is suited for low light and moving subjects. However, the image may look more coarse with noise, etc.
  • Page 56: Selecting A Picture Style

    Selecting a Picture Style By selecting a Picture Style, you can obtain the desired image effects. You can also adjust the settings of each Picture Style to obtain custom image effects. Picture Style Effects Standard The image looks vivid, sharp, and crisp. Portrait For nice skin tones.
  • Page 57 Monochrome You can take black-and-white photos. To obtain natural-looking, black-and-white images, set a suitable white balance. JPEG black-and-white images captured with the [Monochrome] setting cannot be converted into color images even with image- editing software. RAW images captured with the [Monochrome] setting can be converted into color images with the bundled software.
  • Page 58: Customizing The Picture Style

    Customizing the Picture Style You can customize the Picture Style by changing the individual parameters like [Sharpness] and [Contrast] from their default settings to suit your preferences. To customize [Monochrome], see page 59. Parameters and Their Settings Sharpness [0] : Less sharp outline Contrast [-4] : Low contrast Color saturation...

  • Page 60: Filter Effects

    3 Customizing the Picture Style Filter effects The same effect as using filters with black-and-white film can be obtained with digital images. A color can be brightened by using a filter having a similar or same color. At the same time, the complementary colors will be darkened.
  • Page 61: Registering The Picture Style

    Registering the Picture Style You can select a base Picture Style such as [Portrait] or [Landscape], adjust its parameters to suit your preferences and register it in User Defined 1 to 3. You can also select a Picture Style already set with the provided software.
  • Page 62 3 Registering the Picture Style Changing the Picture Style setting inadvertently If a User Defined Picture Style is already registered with your own Picture Style, following the procedure on page 61 up to step 3 for that User Defined Picture Style will revert it back to the default setting. If you do not want to change the User Defined Picture Style, do not repeat this procedure.
  • Page 63: Setting The Color Space

    Setting the Color Space The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For general shooting, sRGB is recommended. About Adobe RGB This is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial uses.
  • Page 64: Selecting The White Balance

    To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature can be adjusted with software so that the colors in the image look more natural. The subject’s white color is used as the criteria for adjusting the other colors.
  • Page 65: Custom White Balance

    Custom White Balance With custom white balance, you shoot a white object that will serve as the basis for the white balance setting. By selecting this image, you import its white balance data for the white balance setting. Photograph a white object. Make sure the plain, white subject fills the entire center spot metering circle.
  • Page 66 3 Custom White Balance If an image was captured while the Picture Style was set to [Monochrome] (p.57), it cannot be selected in step 3. Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) can produce a more accurate white balance. Import the white balance data.
  • Page 67: Setting The Color Temperature

    Setting the Color Temperature You can numerically set the white balance’s color temperature. When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white balance correction (magenta or green) as necessary. If you want to set < meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate for the difference between the color temperature meter’s reading and the camera’s color temperature reading.
  • Page 68: White Balance Correction

    White Balance Correction You can correct the color temperature for the white balance setting. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a color temperature conversion or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels. Users familiar with using color temperature conversion or color compensating filters will find this feature handy.
  • Page 69: White Balance Auto Bracketing

    White Balance Auto Bracketing With just one shot, three images having a different color tone can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the white balance mode’s standard color temperature, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing. It can be set up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.
  • Page 70: Take The Picture

    White Balance Auto Bracketing One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to 5 mireds of a color temperature conversion filter. You can also set white balance correction and AEB shooting in addition to the white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.
  • Page 71: Setting The Folder And Memory Card

You can customize these first four alphanumeric characters in the file name. The first character cannot be an underscore (_). (Example) Select [File name setting].
  • Page 76: File Numbering Methods

    File Numbering Methods The file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. It can start counting in one of three different ways: [A-Reset], [Continuous], and [M-Reset]. The images you take are automatically assigned a file number from 0001 to 9999. The images are saved in the selected folder.
  • Page 77 Continuous The file numbering continues in sequence even after you replace the memory card. This prevents images from having the same file number, so image management with a personal computer is easier. File numbering after changing the folder Memory card 1 XXXX0001 If the memory card in use has a DCIM folder, the file numbering might continue from the last image saved in the folder.
  • Page 78: Noise Reduction Of Long Exposures

    Noise Reduction of Long Exposures For long exposures 1 sec. or longer, noise reduction can be applied. At the [Auto] or [On] setting, the maximum burst during continuous shooting will be slightly lower. The noise reduction process may require the same amount of time as the exposure.
