was so little difference between the two controls that
you’d have to compare the images side by side to notice.
Maybe this control is meant to be more natural than the
super saturated Vivid control. It will certainly improve
the look of your landscape images. I’d say the look of
this control is somewhere between Fuji Provia and
Velvia. You get great saturation and contrast, with
emphasis on the greens of natural settings.
The last two Nikon Picture Controls (Portrait and Landscape)
are not included on the camera from the factory. You have to
download them from Nikon. You can then use the section
titled Manage Picture Control to learn how to install the two
optional controls.
First you’ll need to download and copy them to a memory
card that you will insert into the camera. Then, you’ll use
Shooting Menu > Manage Picture Control > Load/Save >
Copy to camera to install the picture controls. We’ll cover
this fully in the upcoming Manage Picture Control section.
To show how much Nikon has invested in making these
controls compatible with a wide variety of hardware and
software, you might find it interesting that the same optional
controls are compatible with these Nikon DSLRs: D300,
D300S, D700, D3, D3X, D3S. They are also compatible with
the following Nikon software: Capture NX 2 version 2.0.0 or
later, Capture NX Version 1.3.4 or later, and ViewNX
Version 1.1.0 or later.
