Monochrome: Give any in-camera image monochrome effects such as black and white, sepia tone (like antique photos) and cyanotype (B&W with a blue tint).

D-lighting:This amazing Nikon technology enhances the brightness and contrast of any in-camera image. Now pictures that were "almost perfect" can be even better. Ever had a picture where the faces were too dark? D-lighting may be the solution. It works wonders on pic-

tures taken in low light, mixed lighting or backlight- ing, adding extra punch to drab indoor images and drawing out colors muted by poor lighting.
