PICTURE PROPERTIES
Note:
The functions and settings described in the next two sections refer
exclusively to pictures in one of the two JPEG formats. If the DNG file
format is specified, these settings have no effect as in this case the
image data is always saved in its original format.
Contrast, Focus, Color Saturation
One of the many advantages of digital photography is that it is very
easy to change critical properties of a picture, i.e. those that
determine its character. Your Leica X-U allows you to influence three
of the most important image properties before you actually take the
picture:
– The contrast, i.e. the difference between light and dark sections of
the image, determines whether it has a more “flat” or “brilliant”
effect. The contrast can therefore be influenced by increasing or
reducing this difference.
– Using the correct distance setting or focus – at least of the main
subject – is prerequisite for a successful picture. The impression of
a picture being in focus is to a great extent determined by its 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 therefore be changed by expanding or reducing these areas.
– The color saturation determines whether the colors in the picture
tend to appear as “pale” and pastel-like or “bright” and radiant.
For all three picture properties, you can independently choose
between five levels:
Select
Sharpness
or
Saturation
or
Contrast
in the menu and then
