    JPEG images captured with this unit. When editing JPEG images captured with this unit using applications other than Mamiya Digital PhotoStudio, be sure to use the same work space as the color space that was selected when the pictures were taken.

  • Page 38: White Balance

    White Balance The adaptability of the human eye enables us to see white as white regardless of the light source, such as daylight, cloudy skies, incandescent lighting or fluorescent lighting. To capture white as white in the same way as the human eye in images taken with a digital camera, the camera must be adjusted to suit the light conditions under which the subject is captured.

  • Page 39: Color Temperature

    Color Temperature Light has various hues and may be reddish or bluish, for example. Reproduc- ing such hues requires an objective gauge (scale). The color temperature de- scribes the hue by the absolute temperature (K: kelvin). The higher the color temperature, the bluer the hue and the lower the color temperature, the redder the hue.

    White Balance 2. Press [ ] [ ] on the toggle key to select the number of adjustment JPEG steps. CUSTOM When an adjustment is made, the ad- justment icon +/– and number of steps appear. The number displayed with the adjustment icon indicates the number of adjustment steps.

  • Page 41: Customized White Balance

    Customized White Balance Use the customized white balance when the desired white balance cannot be obtained by the manual white balance settings or color temperature settings. Two customized white balance settings can be saved. This function is useful when taking pictures in a limited color temperature environment. 1.

  • Page 42: Take The Picture

    White Balance Important • The white balance can be customized in any exposure mode, but auto mode is recommended. • The white balance can be customized without focusing ( can be used). • Take the white or gray object in standard exposure. If excessively under- or overexposed, the correct customized white balance may not be ob- tained.

  • Page 43: Iso Sensitivity (Image Sensitivity)

    Greater sensitivity, however, is accompanied by some loss of quality, apparent as noise, color noise or grainy images. The standard Mamiya ZD Back film speed is ISO 50. The recommended ISO sensitivity is ISO 50 to ISO 100 to capture images with low noise. The film speed can be adjusted in 1/3 steps from ISO 50 to ISO 400, but selecting a film speed above ISO 200 may result in visible noise or grainy images.

  • Page 44: Setting The Color Mode

    Setting the Color Mode You can set the color reproduction of the images you capture. There are four color modes to choose from: standard, portrait, landscape and products.

  • Page 100 Digital Terminology A method of expressing color. Colors are expressed by overlaying and combining the three colors, red (R), green (G), and blue (B). These three colors are called the three primary colors of light, and by overlaying and combining them, every color can be expressed. Like light, the image becomes brighter as more colors are overlaid and com- bined, (if red, green and blue are all combined at 100%, they become white), so this method is known as the additive color mixture method.
