Nikon D70 Manuel D’Utilisation

When a Digital Vari-Program mode is selected, the camera automatically 
optimizes outlines, contrast, saturation, and hue according to the type of 
scene.  In P, S, A, and M modes, image enhancement options can be selected 
from Normal, Vivid, Sharp, Soft, Direct Print, Portrait, or Landscape to 
optimize photographs according to how the picture will be used or the type 
of scene.  Sharpening, contrast, color reproduction, saturation, and hue can 
also be customized individually to match the user’s creative intent.

Recommended for most situations.
