You can do three basic things with Picture Controls:
•
Choose a Picture Control.
The camera comes with four
basic Picture Controls already defined. You can just select

•
Modify a Picture Control.
You change one or more of the
individual parameters that make up the Picture Control,
and you can make “Quick Adjustments” to a Picture
Control.
•
Manage your Picture Controls.
Nikon provides a system of
naming, saving, loading, or even deleting Picture
Controls. You can define up to nine additional Picture
Controls in addition to the four predefined and four
(optionally) loaded ones, so managing is an important
function. Managing your Picture Controls allows you to
use more than 17 Picture Controls (by loading new ones
from your card), it allows you to share Picture Controls
between your D300 cameras (by saving on one and
loading on another), and allows you to find the Picture
Control of your choice by looking for its name (user
assignable).
