Basic picture settings

The functions and settings described in the next two sections refer

exclusively to pictures in one of the JPEG formats. If one of the two

DNG formats is speciﬁed, these settings have no eﬀect, as in this

case the picture data is always saved in its original form.

PICTURE PROPERTIES / CONTRAST, SHARPNESS, COLOR

SATURATION

In digital photography, key picture properties can be changed very

easily. While photographic 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 “matt” or “glossy”

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 successfully

picture. In turn, the impression of sharpness of a picture is to a

great extent determined by the sharpness of the edges, i.e. by

how small the transition area between light and dark is at the

edges in the picture. The impression of sharpness can thus 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

colorful. 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 adjusted – independently - to

ﬁve diﬀerent levels using the menu, so that you can set the

optimum values for any situation, i.e. the prevailing lighting

conditions.

Setting the functions

1. In the main camera menu (see p. 154/248) select

Sharpness, Saturation or Contrast (all on page 2, IMAGE

section), and

2. select the desired setting in the sub-menu.
