White balance not only helps you obtain accurate coloration under different types of lighting, but it also lets you experiment with the overall tone of your images. Auto control is supplemented by 6 preset options, which can be selected right away, and 3 customizable settings. For even greater control over white balance, you can use the rear control dial to adjust 5 of the presets within a +/-3 level range. For the sixth preset, Fluorescent, you are given several types of fluorescent light to choose from.
Preset options: Daylight, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Shade, Cloudy, and Flash. |

Select from among 4 scene types and leave exposure settings to the camera. The effects of a setting are displayed on the LCD monitor or viewfinder for easy checking prior to image capture. Alternatively, if you wish to customize camera operation, other functions can be assigned to the DSPS dial instead.

| DEC allows you to easily alter contrast and/or saturation before you capture an image. Another setting replicates the effect of a color filter, and can be used with the camera's Black & White mode to produce 11 types of monochromatic effects. The effects of DEC adjustments can be checked on the LCD monitor or viewfinder.

| Shoot first, select later. DEB is a great help when you're not 100% sure about exposure. It delivers a series of exposures for each shot, with slight variations in increments of ± 0.5 or 0.3 EV. Also, you can use this feature together with Digital Effects Control to bracket contrast, saturation, and filter effects.

| The DiMAGE A1 has six color modes: Vivid Color, Natural Color, Adobe RGB, Adobe RGB (ICC), Solarization, and Black & White. You can choose the mode that best resembles a particular look you have in mind, or pick a style to pair up with another function, such as Digital Effects Control.

| Choose either Adobe RGB or sRGB as your color space, the range of hues that the DiMAGE A1 is able to generate. Adobe RGB has a wider scope of colors than sRGB, and as a result produces images that are better suited for hue compensation and color profile adjustment. Adobe RGB also lets you make the most of your printer's gamut of reproducible colors.

| By embedding the camera's ICC Profile in your images, you can achieve consistent colors among different monitors, printers, and compatible applications such as Adobe Photoshop. The ICC Profile supplies a computer's color management system with the information it needs to automatically optimize color for each device or software. Thanks to this, you'll be able to easily "move" colors from one computer to another as well.
