Controlling Color: Saturation Control
Saturation control is used to heighten or reduce the
vividness of colors.
The Saturation Control menu also includes a
Black&White option. Black-and-white images require
the same amount of memory as color images, but
show a higher level of detail.
Black and White
At a setting of Black&White the monitor or view-
finder shows the view through the lens in black-and-
white. Indicators are shown in green, and a
icon
is displayed.
Option
+1 Maximum
–1 Moderate

Description
Image contrast enhanced. Use when shooting landscapes,
low-contrast subjects, under overcast skies, or when tak-

Use for a vivid, photoprint effect when taking pictures
that will be printed “as is,” without further editing.
Black&White

images require the same amount of memory as color
images, but show a higher level of detail. Monitor
shows view through lens in black-and-white. Not avail-
able at an image quality setting of RAW.
