Description

Choose from options between –2and +2 to reduce or exaggerate the effect of the selected Picture Control by adjusting sharpening, contrast, and saturation (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 –3and +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.

Control the vividness of colors. Select A to adjust saturation automatically according to the type of scene, or choose from values between –3and +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, yellow, orange, red, and green (0 109).

Choose the tint used in monochrome photographs from B&W (black-and- white), Sepia, Cyanotype (blue-tinted monochrome), Red, Yellow, Green, Blue Green, Blue, Purple Blue, Red Purple (0 109).

D“A” (Auto)

Results for auto sharpening, contrast, and saturation vary with exposure and the position of the subject in the frame. Use a type G or D lens for best results.
