image Capture
Image processing begins in the camera.
With the K10D you can set how you want your
pictures to appear. Do you prefer the images to
be neutral in color rendition, or would you prefer
something a bit more elaborate and colorful?
The K10D can store the preferred parameters for
sharpening, contrast and color saturation.
Something entirely new is the RAW converter in
the camera. Photos that were taken in RAW can
be directly converted to JPEG files in-camera, as
they are stored, or you can capture in the Adobe
Standard DNG format.
Finally, with the RAW button, you can quickly
change from shooting just JPEG's to RAW +
JPEG's on the fly. You don't have to go through
a series of menus, simply press the button and
keep on shooting.
