K-7 Custom Image Presets

The K-7 has six Custom Image presets including Bright, Natural, Portrait, Landscape, Vibrant, and Muted. These presets offer an additional -4 to +4 steps of additional tuning for saturation, hue, brightness, contrast, and sharpness. There is also a Monochrome mode with the same range of adjustment over brightness, contrast and sharpness.

Since it's hard to visualize how these presets will affect your image, I had a chance over the weekend to take a few photos of my 88 year old mother to show the likely results you can expect in using these different presets. Since I'm shooting with a pre-production camera, I'm restricted from posting images larger than 600x800. All images shot in JPEG with no processing, editing or cropping before uploading files to Blogger.

Photos below displayed from top to bottom: BRIGHT, NATURAL, PORTRAIT, VIBRANT, MUTED and MONOCHROME. As it wasn't appropriate, I did not take a photo in LANDSCAPE mode. Lens used: FA 50mm f/1.4 with aperture set to f/5.6 for these photos.
