■Save an edited copy. Choose Save/Edit, select from the list of available Picture Controls, and then press the multi selector right button to edit the style, as described in the previous section. Press OK when finished editing, and then save the modi- fied style in one of the user-defined slots C-1 to C-9.

■Rename a style. Choose Rename, select from the list of user-defined Picture Controls (you cannot rename the default styles), and then enter the text used as the new label for the style, using the standard D7000 text entry screen like those shown earlier in this chapter. You may use up to 19 characters for the name.

■Remove a style. Select Delete, choose from the list of user-defined Picture Controls (you can’t remove one of the default styles), press the multi selector right button, then highlight Yes in the screen that follows, and press OK to remove that Picture Control.

■Store/retrieve style on card. Choose Load/Save, then select Copy to Camera to locate a Picture Control on your Secure Digital card and copy it to the D7000; Delete from Card to select a Picture Control on your memory card and remove it; or Copy to Card to duplicate a style currently in your camera onto the Secure Digital card. This last option allows you to create and save Picture Controls in excess of the nine that can be loaded into the camera at one time. Once you’ve copied a style to your memory card, you can modify the version in the camera, give it a new name, and, in effect, create a whole new Picture Control.
