Color Accuracy (8.80)

In our tests on the accuracy of the colors that the EX-G1 captured, we found average results: the camera captured most colors pretty closely, but some were less accurate than others. In particular, we found that reds and yellows were somewhat off from the origionals, with both colors looking more muted and less attractive than the origionals. We test the color accuracy of cameras by photographing a color chart that has 24 color patches, and then by using Imatest to analyzw the difference between the origional (the first column on the chart below) and the camera's captured color (the second column).

Color Modes (5.00)

The EX-G1 offers 8 color filters that can be applied as the image is captured, which include options for black and white, sepia, red, green, yellow, blue, pink and purple.  We'd reccomend avoiding the use of these as the effect is rather unpleasant and permanent: once you've shot an image using one of the filters, there is no way to undo it if you change your mind.
