When the sepia setting has been selected the view through the
monitor screen is also in sepia tone, providing an easy and
accurate depiction of the image to be taken.

The two images above provide a comparison between the colour
image and the sepia tone image. Sepia can be used to produce a
more atmospheric and warm image or provide an 'old', antique look
and feel.
When sepia is chosen the icon appears on the monitor screen (image
4) and all on screen information changes from white to green.

The sepia tone that is produced in camera using the Coolpix 4500
can also be reproduced on images taken on previous Coolpix cameras
using editing applications such as Adobe Photoshop™ using the
following easy steps:
- Open the image in Photoshop.
- If the image is in colour, go to Image > Adjust > Desaturate
and go to step 4.
- If the image is in greyscale go to Image > Mode > RGB
Colour.
- Go to Image > Adjust > Variations.
- Move the Fine<-->Coarse slider down one step from the middle
location.
- Click on More Yellow once.
- Click on More Red once.
- Click OK.
