EXPOSURE BRACKETING INCREMENT

In multi-function recording mode, three bracketing steps can be selected: 0.3 Ev, 0.5 Ev,
1.0 Ev. The larger the number, the greater the difference in exposure between the images
in the bracketed series. For information on the bracketing drive mode, see page 36. The
bracketing increment can be changed in the custom 1 section of the multi-function
recording mode menu (p. 54).

COLOR MODE

The color mode controls the appearance of a still image.
This must be set before the image is recorded. The color
mode is set in the custom 2 section of the multi-function
recording mode menu (p. 54). The live image on the
monitors will reflect the selected mode. The color mode
has no effect on image file size.
Natural Color reproduces the colors in the scene
faithfully. This mode uses no monitor indicator when
active. Vivid Color increases the saturation of colors.
Black & White produces monochrome images. The sepia
mode creates warm tone monochrome images.
Solarization produces a partial reversal of tones and
colors in the highlights.

IMAGE CONTROL - SHARPNESS, CONTRAST, & FILTER
Changes in color, sharpness, and contrast can be made using the custom 2 section of
the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 54). The sharpness, contrast and filter
imaging controls give photographers the ability to maximize the image information at the
scene.
Any changes made with these functions are applied to the live image on the monitor.
Changes made to sharpness and contrast may be difficult to see on the monitor.
However, when viewed on a computer, the changes will be evident. The levels must be
set before the image is recorded. If any setting other than normal or off is selected, an
indicator will be displayed showing an increase (+) or decrease (–) in the quality selected.
Turning the camera off will not reset these functions.
