Note:

The functions and settings described in the following

three sections only affect pictures in one of the JPEG

formats. If DNG file format is specified, they have no

effect as in this case the picture data is always saved

in its original form (changes must be made later on the

computer).

IMAGE PROPERTIES /

CONTRAST AND SHARPNESS

One of the many advantages of electronic photography

is that it is very easy to change critical properties of a

picture. While photographic software – after taking the

picture and transferring it to a computer – provides

great scope for doing this, the Leica M Monochrom

itself allows you to influence two of the most important

picture properties even before taking the picture:

• The contrast, i.e. the difference between light and

dark areas, determines whether a picture has a more

“matt” or “glossy” effect. As a consequence, the

contrast can be influenced by increasing or reducing

this difference, i.e. by lighter reproduction of light

sections of the image and darker reproduction of dark

sections.

• Sharp reproduction – at least of the main subject –

using the correct distance setting is a prerequisite

for a successful picture. In turn, the impression of

sharpness of a picture is to a great extent determined

by the sharpness of the edges, i.e. by how small the

transition area between light and dark is at the edges

in the picture. The impression of sharpness can thus

be changed by expanding or reducing these areas.

Both picture properties can be adjusted independently

to five different levels using the menu, allowing you

to set the optimum values for any situation, i.e. the

prevailing lighting conditions.

Note:

These settings only affect pictures in one of the JPEG

formats. If one of the two

DNG formats is specified,

these settings have no effect, as in this case the picture

data is always saved in its original form (changes must

be made later on the computer).

Setting the functions

1. In the main menu (see p. 97/110), select

Sharpening (4.1.6), or Contrast (4.1.7), and

2. select the desired level (

Low, Medium low,

Standard, Medium high, High

) in the relevant sub-

menu.

TONES

Toning has always been a very popular stylistic device

in B&W photography. Slight "toning" of a black and

white picture gives it a very different character. For

example, a brown toning can create an "antique" effect,

while blue creates a cold feel.

On the Leica M Monochrom, you can choose between

three tonings, each of which has two intensity levels.

Setting the functions

1. In the main menu (see p. 97/110), select

TONING

(4.1.8) and

2. then select the type of toning,

HUE or STRENGTH in

the subsequent sub-menu, and

3. in the relevant sub-menu, select the desired level,

the shade for coloring (

sepia, blue or selenium),

and/or the color saturation for the intensity, (Off,

Medium low

or High).
