D Active D-Lighting
Contrast and Brightness can not be adjusted when Active D-Lighting
(
0164) is on. Any manual adjustments currently in effect will be lost
when Active D-Lighting is turned on.
D “A” (Auto)
Results for auto contrast and saturation vary
with exposure and the position of the subject in
the frame. Use a type G or D lens for best
results. The icons for Picture Controls that use
auto contrast and saturation are displayed in
green in the Picture Control grid, and lines
appear parallel to the axes of the grid.
A The Picture Control Grid
Pressing the W button in Step 2 displays a
Picture Control grid showing the contrast and
saturation for the selected Picture Control in
relation to the other Picture Controls (only
contrast is displayed when
Monochrome is
selected). Release the W button to return to
the Picture Control menu.
A Previous Settings
The line under the value display in the Picture
Control setting menu indicates the previous
value for the setting. Use this as a reference
when adjusting settings.
A Filter Effects (Monochrome Only)
The options in this menu simulate the effect of color filters on
monochrome photographs. The following filter effects are available:

the sky in landscape photographs. Orange produces more
contrast than yellow, red more contrast than orange.
O Orange

G Green Softens skin tones. Can be used for portraits.
Note that the effects achieved with

than those produced by physical glass filters.
