Types of Quick Adjust and Manual Adjust
Option Description
Quick adjust
1
Adjust the sharpness, contrast and saturation levels
automatically. Five levels of adjustment are available from -2 to
+2.
Choose from options between -2 and +2 to reduce or
emphasize the effect of the selected COOLPIX Picture Control.
The default setting is 0.
Image sharpening
Control how much outlines are sharpened during shooting.
Choose A (auto) to adjust sharpening automatically, or choose
from seven levels of adjustment between 0 (no sharpening) and
6.
The higher the number, the sharper the image, and the lower
the number, the softer the image.
The default setting is 3 for Standard or Monochrome, 2 for
Neutral and 4 for Vivid.
Contrast

a harder appearance. 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.
The default setting is 0.

Control the vividness of colors. Choose A (auto) to adjust
saturation automatically according to the type of scene, or seven
levels of adjustment can be done by choosing from values
