ECORDING MENU

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 2 of the
recording menu (p. 80). The live image on the monitors will
reflect the selected color mode. The color mode has no
effect on image file size. See the color examples on page
2.

Natural Color - reproduces the colors in the scene faithfully. This mode uses no
monitor indicator when active. Employs the sRGB color space.

Vivid Color - increases the saturation of the colors in the scene. The increased
saturation affects the RAW image data. Employs the sRGB color space.

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.

Solarization - produces a partial reversal of tones in the image. Exposure
compensation function can be used to accentuate the solarization effect (p. 59).
The Digital Effects Controller cannot be used. This color mode does not affect
RAW images. For more on RAW image quality and color mode, see page 84.

Black & White - produces monochrome images. Images can be toned using the
Filter setting on the Digital Effects Controller (p. 78).
