Setting the image processing
(Contrast), (Saturation), and (Sharpness) can be adjusted for each
style box.
Notes
• When the exposure mode is set to Auto Mode or Scene Selection, or the Picture
Effect mode is selected, [Creative Style] is fixed to [Standard] and you cannot select
other settings.
• When [Black & White] or [Sepia] is selected, you cannot adjust the saturation.
(Night Scene) The contrast is attenuated for capturing a nightscape that is
more faithful to the real view.
(Autumn leaves) For capturing autumn scenes, vividly highlighting the red and
yellow of coloring leaves.
(Black & White) For shooting images in black and white monotone.
(Sepia) For capturing images in sepia monotone.
(Contrast) The higher the value selected, the more the difference of light
and shadow is accentuated, thus making an impact on an
image.
(Saturation) The higher the value selected, the more vivid the color. When
a lower value is selected, the color of the image is restrained
and subdued.
(Sharpness) Adjusts the sharpness. The higher the value selected, the
more the contours are accentuated, and the lower the value
selected, the more the contours are softened.
