SHARPNESS adjustment
You can adjust the sharpness of pictures.
Pressing B on the control button of the camera changes
the value in the plus direction from 0 to 1, 2 … 7, adding
emphasis to edges in pictures. We recommend setting a
small value when the print size is small.
SHARPNESS
SHARPNESS adjustment is a function for adding
emphasis to edges in pictures. This function cannot be
used to increase the resolution. It is intended for
changing the sharpness.
SHARPNESS can be used as a parameter to improve
pictures, but increasing the sharpness too much will not
produce a natural picture. Generally, the default setting
is recommended. When a large print size is used and
SHARPNESS is set to a large value, picture quality does
appear to improve.
Contrast
In addition to the sharpness function, it is possible to add
sharpness to the image by adding the contrast of dark
and light. Contrast can be set using the DARK and
LIGHT items in the menu screen. Increasing the DARK
and LIGHT values in the plus direction increases the
contrast, and a high contrast image can be obtained. The
downside, however, is that increasing the contrast values
in the plus direction diminishes the amount of
information about white and black tones, and as a result,
the white and black gradation becomes coarser. Thus, an
appropriate contrast setting is required. We recommend
setting the contrast to +2 or +3.
