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.
