By decreasing the flash output with a negative Ev setting, the shadows receive less light and are
darker, but subtle details in the shadows that would not appear without the flash are apparent.
Increasing the flash output by using a positive Ev setting softens and nearly eliminate shadows.
Color mode
The color mode controls what the image looks like as well
as the color space. The color mode is set with the function
button (p. 56). The color mode can only be selected in P,
A, S, and M exposure modes. Except for the Abobe RGB
and embed Adobe RGB, all color modes use sRGB color
space. Some color modes use preset Digital Effects
Control values (p. 63); the default positions are indicated
by a thick index mark on the scale of the setting screen.
