Sharpness

Sharpness accents or softens details in an image in three levels: hard (+), normal, and soft (–). This can be set in section 3 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44).

Any changes made are applied to the live image, but may be difficult to see. However, when viewed with a computer, the changes will be evident. If any level except normal is selected, an indicator appears on the monitor as a warning.
