Astrophoto Image Processing
Function Overview
“Astrophoto Image Processing” is a function that allows you to select and adjust new image processing options for astrophotography and
save the processed image as a new JPEG file. The following five processing options are provided: [Shading Correction], [Uneven
Correction], [Background Darkness], [Star Brightness], and [Celestial Body Clarity].

Caution
• “Astrophoto Image Processing” can be applied to RAW or JPEG images captured on this camera. “Astrophoto Image Processing”
only processes JPEG images, so when a RAW image is selected, the image is first developed into a JPEG image in the camera under
the conditions at the time of shooting, and then that JPEG image is processed.
• “Astrophoto Image Processing” cannot be directly applied to RAW images captured with HDR shooting. Develop the RAW images
to JPEG images with the camera beforehand and then apply “Astrophoto Image Processing” to them.
• Additional “Astrophoto Image Processing” can be applied to an image to which “Astrophoto Image Processing” has already been
applied. However, because it is applied to JPEG images, the image quality may degrade with each image processing. It is
recommended to complete all processing at the same time whenever possible.

Processing Procedures
1. Display the image to apply “Astrophoto Image Processing” to in the single image display, press the AE Lock button to display the
playback function selection screen, and select [Astrophoto Img. Process.].
4. When all image processing settings are complete, press the OK button to save the image as a new file.
• “Astrophoto Image Processing” saves the most recent parameter settings.
When applying image processing to a different image, reset the settings as necessary.
2. Select the image processing option to use and adjust each parameter.
To reset all the five image processing settings to their default values (no image processing), press the Green button (RESET ALL) on the
“Astrophoto Image Processing” selection screen.
To reset each image processing parameter to its default value, press the Green button on each image processing screen.
3. Each setting is reflected each time it is changed. To hide icons and display the image in full screen, press the ISO button. You can also
use the rear dial to change the image magnification to check the effect of image processing.
