Image Sharpening ( Only)
The camera automatically processes pictures to
emphasize the borders between light and dark
areas of the picture, making edges seem sharper.
As this processing takes place after shooting, its
effects can not be previewed in the monitor, but
they will be visible in the fi nal picture. In
(manual) mode, the image-sharpening menu
gives you control over the amount of sharpening
performed.
