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
sharpening) and [9] (the higher the value, the greater
the sharpening).
Contrast
Select [A] to adjust contrast automatically according to
the type of scene, or choose from values between [–3]
and [+3] (choose lower values to prevent highlights in
portrait subjects from being “washed out” in direct
sunlight, higher values to preserve detail in misty
landscapes and other low-contrast subjects).
Brightness
Choose [–1] for reduced brightness, [+1] for enhanced
brightness. Does not affect exposure.
