Contrast Compensation - Minolta DIMAGE 5 Instruction Manual

RECORDING MODE

CONTRAST COMPENSATION

The contrast must be set before the image is captured. When changing the contrast
setting, an icon will appear on the data panel and in the live image. The data panel and
monitors will indicate if an increase (+) or decrease (–) in contrast has been made. If
contrast is set to any other value than zero, the icon will remain on the displays as a
warning.

The contrast of a scene can be adjusted within seven levels (±3)
with the Digital Effects Controller. If a scene is too contrasty,
information will be lost; if a scene is flat, the image information is
not optimised for the recording ability of the camera. Control over
the contrast gives photographers the ability to optimise the image
information at the scene.
