Select [Monochrome]. Follow step 2 on page 53 to select [Monochrome], then press the <C> button. The setting screen will appear.

  • Page 57: Filter Effects

    Filter effects The same effect as using filters with black-and-white film can be obtained with digital images. A color can be brightened by using a filter having a similar or same color. At the same time, the complementary colors will be darkened. Setting the [Contrast] to the plus side will make the filter effect more pronounced.

  • Page 58: Registering The Picture Style

    Registering the Picture StyleN You can register your own Picture Style in User Defined 1 to 3. You can set the Sharpness, Contrast, and other parameters to suit your preferences. You can also select a Picture Style already set with the provided software.
  • Page 59 Changing the Picture Style setting inadvertently If a User Defined Picture Style is already registered with your own Picture Style, following the procedure on page 58 up to step 3 for that User Defined Picture Style will revert it back to the default setting. If you do not want to change the User Defined Picture Style, do not repeat this procedure.

  • Page 60: Setting The Iso Speed

    g Setting the ISO SpeedN The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a high ISO speed is suited for low light and moving subjects. However, the image may look more coarse with noise, etc.

  • Page 61: Setting The White Balance

    To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature can be adjusted with software so that the colors in the image look more natural. The subject’s white color is used as the criteria for adjusting the other colors.

  • Page 62: Custom White Balance

    Custom White BalanceN With custom white balance, you shoot a white object that will serve as the basis for the white balance setting. By selecting this image, you import its white balance data for the white balance setting. Spot metering Photograph a white object.

  • Page 63: Setting The Color Temperature

    If the exposure obtained in step 1 is underexposed or overexposed, a correct white balance might not be obtained. If an image was captured while the Picture Style was set to [Monochrome] (p.54), it cannot be selected in step 3. Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) can produce a more accurate white balance.

  • Page 64: White Balance Correction

    White Balance CorrectionN You can correct the standard color temperature for the white balance setting. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a color temperature conversion or color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels. Users familiar with using color temperature conversion or color compensating filters will find this feature handy.

  • Page 65: White Balance Auto Bracketing

    White Balance Auto BracketingN With just one shot, three images having a different color tone can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the white balance mode’s standard color temperature, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing. It can be set up to ±3 levels in single-level increments.

  • Page 66: Canceling White Balance Auto Bracketing

    3 White Balance Auto BracketingN Canceling White Balance Auto Bracketing With white balance bracketing, the maximum burst will be lower. When white balance bracketing is set, the white balance icon will blink on the LCD panel and the remaining shots will decrease to about 1/3. Since three images are recorded for one shot, the CF card will take longer to record the shot.

  • Page 67: Setting The Color Space

    Setting the Color SpaceN The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal images, sRGB is recommended. In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, sRGB will be set automatically.

  • Page 68: Creating And Selecting A Folder

    Creating and Selecting a Folder You can freely create and select the folder where the captured images are to be saved. This is optional since a folder will be created automatically for saving captured images. Creating a Folder A folder can have up to 9999 images. If the active folder reaches 9999 images, a new folder will be created automatically to save images captured thereafter.

  • Page 69: Selecting A Folder

    Selecting a Folder You cannot select a folder to playback the images inside. Creating Folders with a Personal Computer With the memory card open on the screen, create a new folder named “Dcim.” Open the Dcim folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and organize your images.

  • Page 70: File Numbering Methods

    File Numbering Methods The file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. It can start counting in one of three different ways: [Continuous], [Auto reset], and [Manual reset]. The images you take are automatically assigned a file number from 0001 to 9999.

  • Page 71: Auto Reset

    Auto Reset Each time you replace the CF card, the file numbering will be reset to the first file number (0001). Since the file number starts from 0001 in each CF card, you can organize images according to CF card. Note that if the replacement CF card already contains images, the file numbering will start after the highest file number in that CF card.
