Monochrome converts your images to grayscale (or, black and white, if you
prefer the more traditional term). Grayscale conversion is a very subjective
process, so while this picture style is handy, if you’re serious about black and
white photography, you’ll be better served by shooting in color and perform-
ing your conversion by hand in an image editor.
Adjusting Predefined Picture Styles
You can tweak the six predefined picture styles by adjusting saturation, color
tone, and contrast within the camera. Each of these parameters each has a range
from -4 to +4, while Sharpness has a range from 0 to 7. While you can’t edit all
of the effects of a picture style, these four parameters give you a fair amount of
adjustment latitude.
To edit a picture style, select Picture Style from the second shooting menu.
1.
Navigate to the picture style you want to edit, then press the DISP button.
2.
From the Detail set page, you can dial in Sharpness, Contrast, Saturation, or
3.
Color Tone. Simply select the parameter you want to edit, and press the Set
button. You can then use the arrow keys to move the slider for that value.
Press Set again when finished.
