Color Mode - Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi Instruction Manual

COLOR MODE

The color mode controls whether a still image is color or black and white. This must be set before the
image is recorded. The color mode is set in the advanced 2 section of the recording-mode menu (p.
80). The live image on the monitors will reflect the selected color mode. The color mode has no effect
on image file size.

ECORDING MODE MENU
Natural Color – reproduces the colors in the scene faithfully. This
mode uses no monitor indicator when active. Employs the sRGB
color space.
Vivid Color – increases the saturation of the colors in the scene.
The increased saturation affects the RAW image data. Employs
the sRGB color space.
Adobe RGB – like Natural Color, this color mode reproduces
the colors in the scene faithfully, but uses the extended gamut
of the Adobe RGB color space.
Black & White – produces monochrome images. Images can
be toned using the Filter setting on the Digital Effects Control
(p. 73).
Solarization – produces a partial reversal of tones in the
image. The Digital Effects Control's exposure compensation
function can be used to accentuate the solarization effect
(p. 73). Contrast, saturation, and filter adjustments cannot
be made. This color mode does not affect RAW images.
