Color Mode
The color mode controls whether a still image is color or black
and white. This must be set before the image is recorded. The
color mode is set in section 3 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p.
44). The live image reflects the selected color mode. The color
mode has no effect on image file size.
Natural Color reproduces the colors in the scene faithfully. This
mode uses no monitor indicator when active. Vivid Color increas-
es the saturation of the colors in the scene. Black & White pro-
duces neutral monochrome images. The sepia mode creates
warm-tone monochrome images.

This function increases or decreases the contrast of the scene in three levels: high (+), normal, and
low (–). This can be set in section 3 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44). Any changes made are
applied to the live image. If any level except normal is selected, an indicator appears on the monitor
as a warning.
