ILCE-7CM2: Getting the look you want from images

    The following three features allow you to adjust the color and look of your movies or still images for the best appearance.

    Creative Look

    "Look" is a term referring to the look or impression of an image generated by various factors, such as color, sharpness, brightness, etc. With Creative Look, you can choose the finish of an image by selecting a preferred look from among preinstalled looks. This feature is available for both photos and movies, enabling a consistent look.


    Here's an example of an image with Creative Look set to SH (a bright, transparent, soft, and vivid mood)



    • Available in: movie recording, S&Q, and still image shooting modes
    • Enjoy intuitive image processing with no special knowledge required
    • Choose from 10 preset looks
    • Customize preset looks exactly as you wish
    • Save your preferred settings as a custom look


    Notes:
    • You can easily access Creative Look options using the function menu or touch function icons.
    • To switch Creative Looks when in the Intelligent Auto or Scene Selection, tap the (image adjustment) icon and switch looks from the My Image Style settings.
    • Refer to the Help Guide for more Creative Look information, such as setting details and restrictions.

    Picture Profile

    Using the Picture Profile menu, you can adjust or change setting values that determine image characteristics such as gradation (light and dark tones) and colors. This feature is recommended for users involved in movie or video production.

    Here's an example of an image shot with S-Gamut3/S-Log3 next to a Color-graded image

    • Available in: movie recording, S&Q, and still image shooting modes

    • Requires knowledge of gamma curves, color modes, and other parameters
    • Enables finer adjustment in the final grading process


    Notes:

    My Image Style
