This function simultaneously eliminates banding noise, which is horizontal or vertical stripe noise, and aligns colors and lightness roughness caused by noise.

fringe reduction
Fringe refers to the phenomenon of purple and green coloring that does not exist in reality on the edges of less light (dark) portions adjacent to very light portions. This kind of coloring can be removed.
color distortion
This function enables one to reduce both color distortions occur in the fine structure area (high frequency area) and color noise.
fine detail
Normally, sharpening effectiveness is reduced when noise reduction is heavily applied. However, the Fine detail mode can perform calculation processing taking into account a wider range of complex pixel areas than ever before. For this reason, we have been able to achieve strong noise reduction while maintaining detailed descriptions and a sharp feel.
unsharp mask
This sharp can be fine-tuned depending on the amount, radius, and threshold sets.
pure detail
Thinner lines and contours when sharpening is applied strongly compared to normal sharp. It is suitable when you want to apply aggressive sharpness to detailed structure parts, etc.
normal sharp
This sharp is suitable for compensating for the resolution lost due to Demosaicing or Noise Reduction.
natural sharp
It provides sharpness that allows you to apply strong sharp only to the focal plane. It functions Ringing artifact ctrl, which suppresses the false contours, and Bokeh preservation, which suppresses the side effects of accentuating unnatural blurring and noise in the outfocus area.
Color profile and Color representation
Color profile refers to the function of Color representation. Color profiles include "V4 compatible", "Natural", "Faithful", and "Monochrome". You can determine the Color profile to finish your works in the color of your choice.
saturation
The Saturation slider allows you to control the overall saturation of the image. When you increase the saturation to vivid the overall color of the image.
Adjusting Saturation with Taste
You can choose from the Standard color, Memory color, Portrait color, Film color, or Monochrome.
automatic level correction
This function automatically recognizes the histogram of images and sets the level values of shadows and highlights automatically. It is useful when light rays are weak (low contrast) or when you want to set a tone that uses the full RGB gradation.
l tone curve
Set gradation process for L (Luminance) value with the tone curve. Because you can adjust only the tone of lightness with the L tone curve, color omissions and changes in chroma are decreased, even when using high key or high contrast, for example.
tone curves
The tone curve which performs tone curve processing to all RGB values, and RGB independent tone curve, which performs gradation processing for each RGB channel, allows you to set detailed tone settings according to the subject and scene.
dehaze
This function restores and emphasizes the lost saturation in hazy areas due to dust. It is also effective in reducing the contrast due to haze and lens flare when using telephoto lenses.
clarity
Clarity adjusts the fine texture of the subject. Increasing the adjustment value makes it possible to finish the image in a soft atmosphere such as soft focus by lowering the detail of the subject to a clear image and vice versa.
black level
You can specify the level of black with this function. When increasing this parameter, the color black becomes deeper black. This function works effectively when a picture is taken against the sun and the image becomes unimpressive, or when a landscape image becomes washed out, or when a landscape image becomes obscured or influenced by haze.
gamma
It is a lightness adjustment. When increasing the gamma value, the light range is compressed, and the dark range is expanded. When decreasing the gamma value, the dark range is compressed and the light range is expanded. Adjust the ratio between dark and light areas.
contrast
When increasing the contrast, the light area becomes lighter and the dark area becomes darker, i.e. high contrast. The high contrast makes image become sharp. On the other hand, low contrast makes image become a gentle texture. It can be used separately according to the subject and expression.
Adjusting Tone with Taste
Tones in incremental steps from Low to Strongest are eight types. You can select like photographic paper gradeds.
multi light source compensation
This function automatically distinguishes and adjusts white balance when there are two or more different light source colors within the same image. You can alleviates part of the light source colors that are unnatural by adjusting the color temperature and color deflection.
White Balance Adjustment
This function is useful if you want to change the white balance a little bit, or if you want an effect similar to a color lens filter. You can adjust white balance in detail with a "white balance target" graphic control, a "saturation" slider, and a "hue" slider.
skin color tool
This is a tool for adjusting the skin of a person appearing in the image to an "expected pretty skin color". In the "Skin color tool" mode, you can click or drag a rectangle area at the target skin on the preview, then the target area is automatically adjusted to beautiful skin color and also exposure bias is adjusted.
gray balance tool
This is a tool for adjusting white balance, targeting the gray subjects that appear in the image. Click or drag the area that you want to change gray to specify the range. When there is a gray object in an image, you can easily adjust the white balance with this function.
Auto White Balance
This function allows you to detect the white balance of highly saturated subjects that are difficult to achieve with conventional auto white balance, and to set the white balance automatically.
Adjusting White Balance with Taste
This is the way to make adjustment by selecting the white balance adjusted for each light source in advance. You can also change settings in detail later.
Highlight / Shadow
While HDR and Dodge / Color Burn simultaneously compensate the lightness of the shadow and light areas, this function only applies the correction to darken the light areas. As a result, the lightness of the shadows is not affected.
Color Burn HDR
While HDR and Dodge / Color Burn simultaneously compensate the lightness of the shadow and light areas, this function only applies the correction to darken the light areas. As a result, the lightness of the shadows is not affected.
Dodge HDR
While HDR and Dodge / Color Burn simultaneously compensate the lightness of the shadow and light areas, this function only applies the correction to lighten the shadow areas. As a result, the lightness of the highlights is not affected.
Dodge / Color Burn
Depending on how the image is exposed, shadow areas may be blocked up or highlight areas may be blown out. This function allows you to correct natural light and shadow areas close to the perception of a human being by adjusting their lightness.
HDR
It is make the most of the information contained in the RAW data, allowing you to correct the dynamic range of image. This makes it possible to create an unrealistic photographic representation with no blown out highlights or blocked up shadows beyond human vision.
Auto Exposure Bias
Clicking the "Auto Exposure Bias" button enables automatic exposure compensation. This function reduces the time required to adjust the development parameters, and is also useful for images with underexposure that are unique to RAW.
Exposure Bias
You can create an image with the lightness you want by making detailed adjustments that cannot be set with the camera. By adjusting the slider, you can adjust the exposure from -3.0EV to +3.0EV in steps of 0.1EV.
