Sharpening and Softening a Picture
If you plan to edit your pictures using image editing software, the Sharpness
feature can make some editing processes easier. By selecting the Sharp setting,
the edges around the picture are enhanced, making it easier to cut or crop the
image. If you want to blend the image into a background, use the Soft setting to
de-emphasize the edges. For everyday picture-taking, keep the Sharpness feature
set to Standard. The Sharp or Soft settings may increase or decrease the clarity in
pictures.
