To set [Contrast], [Saturation] and [Sharpness]
[Contrast], [Saturation] and [Sharpness] can be adjusted for each [Creative Style] item.
Select an item to be set by pressing the right/left side of the control wheel, then set the value using the top/bottom side of the control wheel.
Contrast:
The higher the value selected, the more the difference of light and shadow is accentuated, and the bigger the effect on the 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.
