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 103.
Natural Color - reproduces the colors in the scene faithfully.This mode uses no monitor indi-
cator 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 Control (p. 77).
