Nikon D7000 manual Manage Picture Control

256 David Busch’s Nikon D7000 Guide to Digital SLR Photography

When you press the Thumbnail/Zoom Out button, a grid display, like the one shown in Figure 8.25, appears, showing the relative contrast and saturation of each of the prede- fined Picture Controls. If you’ve created your own custom Picture Controls, they will appear on this grid, too, represented by the numbers 1-9. Because the values for auto- contrast and autosaturation may vary, the icons for any Picture Control that uses the Auto feature will be shown on the grid in green, with lines extending up and down from the icon to tip you off that the position within the coordinates may vary from the one shown.
