Select a colour effect.

Adjust the white balance. Select the current

lighting conditions. This allows the camera to

reproduce colours more accurately.

Adjust the exposure compensation (images

only). If you are shooting a dark subject against

a very light background, such as snow, adjust the

exposure to +1 or +2 to compensate for the

background brightness. For light subjects

against a dark background, use -1 or -2.

Adjust light sensitivity (images only). Increase

the light sensitivity in low light conditions to

avoid too dark images and blurry images.

Increasing the light sensitivity may also increase

the image noise.

Adjust contrast (images only). Adjust the

difference between the lightest and darkest

parts of the image.

Adjust sharpness (images only).

The screen display changes to match the settings you define.
Saving the captured image may take longer if you change the

zoom, lighting, or colour settings.
The capture settings are shooting-mode specific. Switching

between the modes does not reset the defined settings.

If you select a new scene, the capture settings are replaced

by the selected scene. You can change the capture settings

after selecting a scene if needed.
