Taking Photographs—Optimizing Images

Adjusting Contrast: Tone Comp.

sa tion is performed by means of tone curves that deﬁ ne the relationship

be tween the dis tri bu tion of tones in the original image and the compensated

result. The Tone comp. menu controls the type of curve used.

pri ate curve. Curve varies from shot to shot, even in scenes

of same type; to take multiple shots with same curve, choose

different setting. For best results, use type G or D lens.
