Optimize contrast, sharpening, and other settings according to how pictures will
be used or the type of scene.

Customizing Image Enhancement Options: Custom
Select  Custom to make separate adjustments to the following options.  The
default setting for all three options is Auto.
• Contrast: Control contrast.  Lower settings prevent loss of detail in highlights

under harsh lighting or in direct sunlight.  Higher settings preserve detail in
misty landscapes and other low-contrast subjects.

• Image sharpening: Choose how much outlines are sharpened during shooting.

Choose high settings for sharp outlines, low settings for softer outlines.  Note
that the effects of sharpening can not be previewed in the monitor during
shooting.

• Saturation: Control the vividness of colors.  Choose Moderate for less saturated

colors, Enhanced for more vivid colors.

setting other than Auto for contrast, sharpening, and saturation.
