Nikon D2H Manuel D’Utilisation

As photographs are saved to the memory card, they are processed to adjust 
the distribution of tones in the image, en hanc ing con trast.  Tone com pen -
sa tion is performed by means of tone curves that defi ne the relationship 
be tween the dis tri bu tion of tones in the original image and the compensated 
result.  The Tone compensation menu controls the type of curve used.

Camera automatically optimizes con trast by selecting the ap-
 pro pri ate curve.  Curve varies from shot to shot, even in scenes 
of same type; to take multiple shots with same curve, choose 
different setting.  For best results, use a type G or D lens.

(default)

Camera uses same standard curve for all im ag es.  Suit ed to 
most scenes, whether dark or bright.

Produces “softer” images.  Pre vents highlights on portrait sub-
jects from being “washed out” in direct sunlight.

Choose this curve to preserve de tail in misty land scapes and 
other low-contrast subjects.

Nikon Capture 4 (available separately) can be used to defi ne a 
custom  tone curve and download it to the camera.  Choose 
Custom to se lect this user-defi ned curve.  If no custom curve 
has been created, this op tion is equiv a lent to Nor mal.
