In the same way that you select different films for their distinctive coloring and contrast characteristics, the L1 lets you choose from four color types and three monochrome types. The development and color adjustments that were previously arranged in various different functions have been integrated into the advanced and intuitive Film mode.

When shooting in black and white, the contrast, sharpness, saturation, and noise reduction for each mode parameter can also be customized in five steps and stored in memory. The same is true when shooting in color, with the addition of the saturation adjustment.

This gives you the same kind of delicate selection capability as you have with film, and makes it easy to take creative photos that look exactly the way you want them to. Also, because the adjustments are digital, you can change them at any time while shooting.
