## Creative Style

Allows you to select the desired image processing.
You can adjust contrast, saturation and sharpness as you like for each [Creative Style] mode.
Unlike with [Scene Selection], where images are shot automatically, you can adjust the exposure (shutter speed/aperture value), etc.

1. Fn (Creative Style) desired mode

| (Standard) | For shooting various scenes with rich gradation and beautiful colors.
| (Vivid) | The saturation and contrast are heightened for shooting striking images of colorful scenes and subjects such as flowers, spring greenery, blue sky, or ocean views.
| (Neutral) | The saturation and sharpness are lowered for shooting images in subdued tones. This is also suitable for capturing image material to be modified with a computer.
| (Clear) | For shooting images in clear tones with limpid colors in highlight, suitable for capturing radiant light.
| (Deep) | For shooting images with deep and dense colors, suitable for capturing the solid presence of the subject.
| (Light) | For shooting images with bright and simple colors, suitable for capturing a refreshingly light ambience.
| (Portrait) | For shooting the skin color in a soft tone, ideally suited for shooting portraits.
| (Landscape) | The saturation, contrast, and sharpness are heightened for shooting vivid and crisp scenery. Distant landscapes also stand out more.
| (Sunset) | For shooting the beautiful red of the setting sun.
| (Night Scene) | The contrast is lowered for reproducing night scenes.
| (Autumn leaves) | For shooting autumn scenes, vividly highlighting the reds and yellows of changing leaves.
| (Black & White) | For shooting images in black and white monotone.
| (Sepia) | For shooting images in sepia monotone.

1. When you want to adjust (Contrast), (Saturation), or (Sharpness), press / on the control wheel.

1. Select a desired value using /.

(Contrast) | The higher the value selected, the more the difference of light and shadow is accentuated, thus making an impact on an image.
(Saturation) | The higher the value selected, the more vivid the color. When a lower value is selected, the color of the image is restrained and subdued.
(Sharpness) | Adjusts the sharpness. The higher the value selected, the more the contours are accentuated, and the lower the value selected, the more the contours are softened.

Notes

- When [Creative Style] is set to [Black & White] or [Sepia], [Saturation] cannot be adjusted.
