New Picture Control System A new system developed by Nikon to respond to the needs of photographers, Picture Control makes it easy to select and apply desired adjustments and create TM optimized images to suit individual preferences and shooting styles. Those using multiple camera bodies will also appreciate that the same settings produce consistent picture tone on all camera models that support the Nikon Picture Control system. It's as easy as starting with one of the four basic setting files - Standard, Neutral, Vivid or Monochrome - as a base, or from one of up to 9 user-created custom Picture Controls. These can be directly modified for easy adjustment and customization of individual image parameters, including sharpness, contrast, brightness, color saturation, tone and the monochrome filter effects. Or, when in Standard or Vivid, parameters can be adjusted at once using the new Quick Adjust function. The results achieved can be saved as a custom Picture Control to a CompactFlash memory card for easy transfer to another D300 or D3 camera body as well as to a computer. Software integration maximizes workflow efficiency The system's intuitive interface and easy-tomaster settings for creating Picture Controls and applying adjustments to images are also available within Nikon's software programs, Capture NX*, ViewNX and Camera Control Pro 2*. To maximize workflow efficiency and further expand creative freedom, custom Picture Controls created within Capture NX or Camera Control Pro 2 can also be transferred to and used in the camera. * Optional software Picture Control selection menus Quick Adjust screen Ultimate control over consistent results Achieve finished images that match your vision, with predictable results that can be repeated even when changing camera bodies Adjustment setting screen Picture Control Grid display Standard Suitable for most shooting situations, produces results that are colorful, yet with a balanced, natural tone.
