Digital Effects Control - Minolta DIMAGE 5 Instruction Manual

DIGITAL EFFECTS CONTROL

The Digital Effects Controller is a powerful tool. As well as being able to make
adjustments to exposure, the controller can also change image contrast and colour
saturation. The effect of any change is instantly visible in the EVF or on the LCD
monitor before the image is captured. Since compensation is applied to the image
before it is compressed and saved, image information can be maximised before leaving
the scene. The digital effects controller can be used with movie recording.
Operating the controller is very simple:
1
Turn the digital effects switch to the image characteristic to be changed.
Press and hold the digital-effects button in the centre of the switch and adjust the
2
setting by turning the control dial next to the shutter-release button. Release the
digital-effects button to set the adjustment.

Adjustments can be made repeatedly and in
combination. Adjustments remain in effect until
manually reset. When set to any value other than
zero, an icon will be displayed on the data panel
and monitors as a warning.
