Color mode

The color mode controls whether a still image is color or black and

white as well as the color space. This must be set before the image

is recorded. Color mode is selected with the function button and the

controller (p. 64). The live image on the monitors reflect 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. Employs the sRGB color space.See the color example on page 2.

Vivid Color - increases the saturation of the colors in the scene. The increased saturation

affects the RAW image data. Employs the sRGB color space. See the color example on page

Portrait - optimizes color for portraiture. Employs the sRGB color space.

Black & White - produces monochrome images. Images can be toned using the Filter setting

(p. 73). See the color example on page 2.

Embedded 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. The color space

is embedded in the image file. See the color example on page 2.

When a color mode other than the natural

color is set, an indicator is displayed on the

monitors.

Black & White - produces
