Taking Pictures:
Color and Quality
In this section we will show you how to set up white balance, select the
record mode for images saved on the memory card, and how to use the
sharpness, contrast, and histogram options to enhance your captured
images.
There can be great differences in the way the camera reproduces color
in images taken in natural or artificial light, especially under fluorescent
lights. In such cases, you may need to adjust the white balance setting
of the camera in order to achieve the best natural color reproduction in
pictures taken indoors under incandescent or fluorescent lighting.
You can select a record mode best suited for your purpose. You can
select a high quality setting to produce the best quality image possible,
resulting in a larger file size but reducing the number of images that you
can save on a card. If your aim is to store more images on a card, or to
store as many images as possible on a card, you can select a lower
quality setting which will compress the images into smaller file sizes,
allowing you to store more images on a single card.
You can use the sharpness, contrast, and histogram options to enhance
the appearance of your images as they are taken.
