Landscape<\/strong> – This picture style provides a more vivid expression providing deeper, richer colours that would normally be lost if using standard picture style mode. A deeper blue sky and vibrant green leaves are such examples. This picture style uses stronger sharpness to bring out the details.<\/p>\n

Neutral <\/strong>– This setting is used for expressing subtle nuances within the vivid colours including for objects in high contrast situation to convey delicate textures. The contrast and saturation are moderated so that there is less risk of overexposure and colour saturation in comparison with other styles. The result is a more restrained and calmer expression.
