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 section 3 of the P, A, S, and M menus and
section 2 of the movie menu (p. 44). The live image reflects the
selected color 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 the colors in the scene. Black &
White produces neutral monochrome images. The sepia mode
creates warm-tone monochrome images.
Contrast
This function increases or decreases the contrast of the scene in three levels: high (+), normal, and
low (–). This can be set in section 3 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44). Any changes made are
applied to the live image. If any level except normal is selected, an indicator appears on the monitor
as a warning.

Sharpness
Sharpness accents or softens details in an image in three levels:
hard (+), normal, and soft (–). This can be set in section 3 of the P,
A, S, and M menus (p. 44).
Any changes made are applied to the live image, but may be diffi-
cult to see. However, when viewed with a computer, the changes
will be evident. If any level except normal is selected, an indicator
appears on the monitor as a warning.
