Picture Controls influence the way JPEG
files are processed by the camera. In Auto,
Scene, and Effects modes, Picture Controls
are predetermined, but in P, S, A, or M
modes you can freely choose and fine-
tune them.
There are six preset Picture Controls.
Names like Neutral (NL) and Vivid (VI)
are self-explanatory, and Monochrome
(MC) even more so.
Standard (SD) gives a compromise
setting which works reasonably well in a
wide range of situations. Portrait (PT)
is designed to deliver milder contrast,
saturation, and sharpening, with color
balance that is flattering to skin tones.
Landscape (LS) produces higher contrast
and saturation for more vibrant, punchy
images.
