Description

Choose from options between [–2] and [+2] to reduce or exaggerate the effect of the selected Picture Control (note that this resets all manual adjustments). For example, choosing positive values for [Vivid] makes pictures more vivid. Not available with [Neutral], [Monochrome], or custom Picture Controls.

Control the sharpness of outlines. Select [A] to adjust sharpening automatically according to the type of scene, or choose from values between [0] (no sharpening) and [9] (the higher the value, the greater the sharpening).

Select [A] to adjust contrast automatically according to the type of scene, or choose from values between [–3] and [+3] (choose lower values to prevent highlights in portrait subjects from being “washed out” in direct sunlight, higher values to preserve detail in misty landscapes and other low-contrast subjects).

Choose [–1] for reduced brightness, [+1] for enhanced

brightness. Does not affect exposure.J Control the vividness of colors. Select [A] to adjust saturation automatically according to the type of scene,

or choose from values between [–3] and [+3] (lower values reduce saturation and higher values increase it).

Choose negative values (to a minimum of [–3]) to make reds more purple, blues more green, and greens more yellow, positive values (up to [+3]) to make reds more orange, greens more blue, and blues more purple.

Simulate the effect of color filters on monochrome photographs. Choose from [Off] (the default setting), yellow, orange, red, and green (pg. 169).

Choose the tint used in monochrome photographs from [B&W] (black-and-white, the default setting), [Sepia], [Cyanotype] (blue-tinted monochrome), [Red], [Yellow], [Green], [Blue Green], [Blue], [Purple Blue], and [Red Purple] (pg. 169).
