Sharpness: hard

Sharpness: soft

SHARPNESS

Sharpness accents or softens details in an image in three
levels: hard (+), normal, and soft (–). This can be set in
section 3 of the P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44).

Any changes made are applied to the live image, but may
be difficult to see. However, when viewed with a computer,
the changes will be evident. If any level except normal is
selected, an indicator appears on the monitor as a
warning.
