Picture Control Parameters
Fine-tune individual Picture Control parameters, including sharpening, clarity,
contrast, and saturation, or select
Auto
to let Capture NX-D adjust settings au-
tomatically (note that
Auto
produces results that may vary with exposure and
the position and size of the subject in the frame). What parameters are available
depends on whether a monochrome Picture Control is selected.

less contrast, higher values for more contrast.

tail in highlights and shadows.

ness of colors. Choose lower values for less satu-
