Digital Effects Control - Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi Instruction Manual

DIGITAL EFFECTS CONTROL

The Digital Effects Controller is a powerful tool. As well as being able to make adjustments to expo-
sure, the controller can also change image contrast, color, and saturation. The effect of any change is
instantly visible on the monitors before the image is captured. Since compensation is applied to the
image before it is compressed and saved, image information can be maximized before leaving the
scene. The digital effects controller can be used with movie recording. Operating the controller is very
simple:
Turn the digital-effect switch to the image characteristic to be adjusted.
Press and hold the digital-effects button (1) in the center of the switch and adjust the setting by turn-
ing the control dial (2) next to the shutter-release button. Release the digital-effects button to set the
adjustment.
Adjustments can be made repeatedly and in combina-
tion. Adjustments remain in effect until manually reset.
When set to any value other than zero, an icon will be
displayed on the monitors as a warning.
To adjust flash compensation, the up/down keys of the
controller are used instead of the control dial. See page
74.
To reset all changes made with the Digital Effects Controller,
press the Pro-auto button while holding in the digital-effects
button.
