III. DISCUSSION 16Processing ParametersThe Digital Rebel XT camera has the same range ofimage processing parameters as the EOS 20D:Parameter Set 1 (contrast, sharpness and colorsaturation set to +1) is optimized for vivid, sharpimages upon which no retouching will be performedbefore direct printing. Parameter Set 2 (contrast,sharpness, color saturation and color tone set to 0, i.e., mid-scale), is optimized forimages that will be retouched or adjusted. Parameter Sets 3, 4 and 5 can becustomized by the user for contrast, sharpness, color saturation and color tone. Thereis also a monochrome Parameter Set that makes black and white photography easyand great fun. This set incorporates five levels each of contrast and sharpness inaddition to filter effects (none, yellow, orange, red and green) that are just like camerafilter effects and toning effects (none, sepia, blue, purple, green) that use digitalprocessing to produce prints that look like vintage photochemical artifacts In theBasic Zone modes, Parameter Set 1 is set automatically. In the Creative Zone modes,all six Parameter Sets are available.Custom FunctionsThe EOS Digital Rebel XT camera adds nine of theEOS 20D’s eighteen custom functions to its arsenalof controls.C.
