Description

Choose from options between –2and +2 to reduce or

 

exaggerate the effect of the selected Picture Control

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 –1for reduced brightness, +1 for enhanced

 

brightness. Does not affect exposure.

orange, greens more blue, and blues more purple.
