Taking Photographs-Advanced Photography Controlling Color: The Saturation Control Menu Saturation control is used to heighten or reduce the vividness of colors. Raise saturation to +1 Maximum for a vivid, photoprint effect when taking photos that will be printed "as is," without further editing. Settings of -1 Moderate or -2 Minimum can be used when taking photos that will later be retouched on a computer. A setting of 0 Normal is the best choice in most other circumstances. The color saturation menu also includes a Black&White option for taking photographs in black-and-white. When this option is in effect, photographs will be recorded as monochrome images. Black-and-white images require the same amount of memory as color images, but show a higher level of detail. Viewing the Current Image Adjustment Setting At settings other than Auto and Normal, an image-adjustment icon appears in the monitor. Black-and-White At a setting of Black&White, the monitor shows the view through the lens in black-and-white, with indicators displayed in green. A icon appears in the monitor. 115
