A simple, effective image creation system that enables you to flexibly control a wide range of shooting situations and achieve your particular preferences
Naturally, you seek to create images that achieve your own desired characteristics — images that project your own particular style.
It’s a feeling shared by everyone who loves photographs and loves taking them, professional and amateur alike. With digital cameras, you’re able to control image characteristics such as tone, hue, and contrast — and do so relatively easily. In turn, this leads to an ever-growing penchant to create exactly the sort of images you want, whether you’re a professional or amateur. Picture Control System, Nikon’s all-new original system of image creation settings, allows you to do precisely that. Now, photographers at all levels, from novices to professionals, can easily select and adjust Picture Control by simply using the screen settings on their digital SLR cameras.
By utilizing the same Picture Control settings, users of Picture Control System-compatible cameras* are able to shoot images with virtually the same sharpening, contrast, brightness, saturation, and hue, even with different camera models.
Nikon Picture Control
Standard
Gives you standard, balanced images with no inconsistencies in the strength of the subject’s sharpening, contrast, brightness, saturation and coloration. Before you know it, you’ll be taking shots with vibrant colors that linger in the viewer’s memory. Moreover, you’ll be able to print out images that display an attractive finish, with no need for special processing. Suitable for portraits, snapshots, landscape pictures and just about anything else.
Neutral
Delivers images that are closest to the actual original scene. To reproduce the subject’s unique colors and gradations with maximum authenticity, avoid extreme enhancements. Compared to Standard, Neutral gives a more soothing overall impression. It’s also ideal for materials that you plan to adjust after shooting to express a specific idea.
