Image Sharpening

The camera automatically processes pictures to empha- size the borders between light and dark areas, making edges seem sharper. As this processing occurs after shooting, its effects can not be previewed in the shoot- ing display, but they will be visible in the final picture. In P, S, A, and M modes, the image-sharpening menu controls the amount of sharpening performed.
