Picture Controls
Nikon’s unique Picture Control system makes it possible to share image processing
settings among compatible devices and software.
Select from the Picture Controls
provided with the camera to instantly adjust image processing settings, or make
independent adjustments to sharpening, contrast, brightness, saturation, and hue.
These settings can be saved under new names as custom Picture Controls to be
recalled or edited at will.
Custom Picture Controls can also be saved to the memory
card for use in compatible software, and software-created Picture Controls can be
loaded into the camera.
Any given set of Picture Controls will produce nearly the
same results on all cameras that support the Nikon Picture Control system.
