Contrast, focus, color saturation
In digital photography, key picture properties, other than resolution,
can be changed very easily. While photo editing software – after
recording and transfer to a computer – provides great scope for
doing this, the camera itself allows you to influence three of the
most important picture properties even before taking the picture:
• The contrast, i.e. the difference between light and dark areas,
determines whether a picture has a more “flat” or “vibrant”
effect. As a consequence, the contrast can be influenced by
increasing or reducing this difference, i.e. by lighter reproduction
of light sections of the image and darker reproduction of dark
sections.
• Sharp reproduction – at least of the main subject – using the
correct distance setting is a prerequisite for a successful pic-
ture. In turn, the impression of sharpness of a picture is to a
great extent determined by edge sharpness, i.e. by how small
the transition area between light and dark is at edges in the
picture. The impression of being in focus can thus be changed
by expanding or reducing these areas.
• The color saturation determines whether the colors in the pic-
ture tend to appear as "pale" and pastel-like or "bright" and col-
orful. While the lighting and weather conditions (hazy/clear) are
given as conditions for the picture, there is definite scope for
influencing the reproduction.
All three picture properties can be set independently of each other
to three different levels so that you can set the optimum values for
any situation and/or your ideas.
