196 The “Recording” (Camera icon) Menu Settings

camera’s 6 memory locations in which you can store (and instantly recall)
combinations of image tweaks, including Image Style, contrast, saturation,
and sharpness. On the next page I’ll show you some examples of what the
settings do.

CONTRAST SETTING
The first variable you can change after selecting an Image Style is contrast.
Contrast is a difficult thing to describe, but you know instantly if your
pictures don’t have enough of it. Basically it is “how white are the whites,
and how black are the blacks?” If you are going to have your pictures
processed at a 1-hour photo lab, then they almost always adjust the contrast
for you and there should be no need to change this setting.
Figure 5-48 gives examples.
