beeldmodus

Beeldmodus is a term used in Dutch to describe the set of image processing and display parameters that determine how a digital image is captured, rendered or displayed by an electronic device. The beeldmodus defines characteristics such as color saturation, contrast, sharpness, noise reduction, and dynamic range, and can be applied to photos, videos or screen output. It is commonly found on cameras, camcorders, smartphones, televisions, monitors and projectors. Choices range from automatic presets to user-defined configurations.

In photography devices, beeldmodus comprises scene modes (portret, landschap, sport, nacht), and picture processing styles or profiles (often labeled as standard, vivid, natural, monochrome). It can be separate from exposure modes (auto, aperture priority, shutter priority, manual), but is often combined. The mode determines how the device processes RAW or JPEG data, including color temperature, curve, saturation, and edge sharpening. Most devices allow adjusting or saving custom beeldmodi for different subjects.

On displays and projectors, beeldmodus refers to calibration presets that affect image reproduction. Common presets include standard, film/cinema, game, vivid, sRGB, or custom calibration. These modes adjust gamma, color temperature, brightness, contrast and sometimes motion processing. Some devices use automatic scene or ambient-light sensing to switch beeldmodus to suit viewing conditions.

Impact and considerations: The gekozen beeldmodus influences perceived image quality and can alter histograms and color accuracy. When working with RAW, the beeldmodus may affect JPEG previews while keeping RAW data untouched; for published images, the mode becomes part of the rendered file. Users should choose modes appropriate for subject, lighting, and intended output and may switch modes as needed.
