place the control on the card. Select any Unused
location.
4. Press the OK button and you’ll briefly see a screen that
says, Data saved to memory card. Your Custom Picture
Control is now ready to distribute to the world or load
onto another of your compatible Nikon cameras.
My Recommendation: To help you understand Nikon
Picture Controls even better, please download and read the
following PDF file from Nikon: http://imaging.nikon.com/
products/imaging/lineup/picturecontrol/catalog/
PicCon.pdf.
This PDF file describes Picture Controls—with lots of
pictures—to help you see the range of control you can
achieve. It even covers the optional PT and LS controls. It’s a
13-page, 4.6 MB file named PicCon.pdf. I really enjoyed
reading it since it explains Nikon Picture Controls well and
even mentions software that will work with them. You’ll need
Adobe Reader, which you can download for free from
www.Adobe.com, to read PDF files.
If any of the website links listed in this chapter give you
problems, please contact me via the Contact link at
