Sharpening
Control the sharpness of outlines. Select A to adjust
sharpening automatically according to the type of
scene, or choose from values between
0 (no sharpen-
ing) and 9 (the higher the value, the greater the sharp-
ening).
Contrast
Select A to adjust contrast automatically according to
the type of scene, or choose from values between –3
and +3 (lower values prevent highlights in portrait sub-
jects from being “washed out” in direct sunlight, while
higher values preserve detail in misty landscapes and
other low-contrast subjects).
Brightness
Choose –1 for reduced brightness, +1 for enhanced
brightness. Does not affect exposure.
