Nikon D200 ユーザーズマニュアル

Adjusting Contrast: Tone Compensation
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.

Auto
(default)

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

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

Pre vents highlights on portrait subjects from being “washed out” in direct 
sunlight.

Preserves de tail in misty land scapes and other low-contrast subjects.

Custom curve can be created in Nikon Capture 4 Version 4.4 or later (avail-
able separately) and downloaded to 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.

Suiting Colors to the Subject: Color Mode
Much as fi lm cameras off er a choice of fi lms for diff erent subjects, the D200 off ers 
a choice of color modes with subtly diff erent palettes.
