Taking Photographs—Optimizing Images

Optimizing Images

Image Enhancement

When a Digital Vari-Program mode is selected, the camera automatically op-

timizes outlines, contrast, saturation, and hue according to the type of scene.

In P, S, A, and M modes, image enhancement options can be selected from

Normal, Vivid, Sharper, Softer, Direct Print, Portrait, or Landscape to

optimize photographs according to how the picture will be used or the type

of scene. Sharpening, contrast, color reproduction, saturation, and hue can

also be customized individually to match the user’s creative intent.

Recommended for most situations.

Normal

(default)

Enhances saturation, contrast, and sharpness to produce vivid im-

ages with vibrant reds, greens, and blues.
